NATIONAL AND CULTURAL SPECIFICS OF THE CAUCASIAN PEOPLES’ PAREMIAS AND THEIR ROLE IN INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Paremiological units, on the one hand, are deeply national, on the other – international. There are thoughts peculiar to all peoples, but each nation expresses them in its own way, taking into account ethnographic, geographical features, customs, mentality, etc. It is noted that the ideas of peace and goodness, the role of labor and knowledge are common to all peoples of the world; respect for positive human qualities: diligence, modesty, honesty, condemnation of malice and greed, stupidity and laziness. Comparative study of the paroemias of the peoples of the Caucasus and the Russian people shows how much there is in common and different between the culture, life and work of their carriers. The peoples of the Caucasus have many local customs and traditions in common. an equivalent translation of paroemias from one language to another with an accurate and subtle reproduction of the essence of what was said contributes to a better perception, mutual understanding and mutual rapprochement of cultures of different peoples.
