ZOOMORPHIC CULTURE CODE IN THE WORLD PICTURE OF THE LAK AND GERMAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article presents a comparative analysis of phraseological and paremiological units of the Lak and German languages, which reveals the zoomorphic culture code. The choice of this topic is explained by the fact that researchers consider the zoomorphic cultural code to be the most ancient and basic cultural codes, whose participation in the formation of the linguistic picture of the world of any ethnic group is of great importance. Zoomorphic cultural code uses zoometaphors with images of domestic animals, wild animals and birds, which, as a part of phraseological and paremiological units, represent the behavior and essence of the person. The attraction for the study of this issue of the material of different languages, cultures and traditions, distant from each other, will allow to reveal more clearly the specificity of ethnic worldview and determine the uniqueness of zoomorphic cultural code of each linguistic and cultural community (based on Lak and German).
