SYNTACTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PROVERBIAL SENTENCES IN AVAR LANGUAGE

Magomedov D.M.

Abstract

The article discusses syntactic features of a proverb in the Avar language. Avar proverbs retain traditional features of the syntactic structure of the Avar language and at the same time have logical, structural and semantic features. The syntactic structure of proverbs depends on the general pragmatic purpose of this type of paremias as a folklore genre. The most common in the Avar language structural types of proverb sentences are identified and described. The relationship between constructions and logical-syntactic types of proverbs in the Avar language is traced. The author concludes that the proverbs have semantic and syntax completeness. It is known that a proverb is designed for memorization and citation, so it should be short and concise. The syntax structure of the proverb is not only complete and exhaustive, but also not too common and complex. It has been shown that the features of the syntax structure of the Avar proverbs depend largely on its pragmatic function. These features distinguish the proverb not only from the usual sentence of the Avar language, but also from other folk texts.

Keywords: sentence-proverb, syntax, proverbs, folklore, Avar language, semantics.
