SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF DARGIN AND ARABIC LANGUAGES WITH ZOOMORPHIC CULTURE CODE

Abstract

The article examines the somatic phraseological units of the Dargin and Arabic languages with a zoomorphic component. It is noted that such units are vivid fragments of the linguistic picture of the world of the compared languages. The studied phraseological material revealed that both domestic and wild animals are endowed with positive or negative symbols. The highest productivity in the group of somatic phraseological units characterizing the mental character of a person is found in the Dargin language by the names of domestic animals. Of particular interest are comparative somatic phraseological units with an assessment of the external appearance of a person, in which features of the figurative metaphor and the vision of the world by speakers of the Dargin and Arabic languages are manifested. The novelty of the problems considered in this article lies in the fact that for the first time zoomorphic somatic phraseological units of two different languages are investigated from the point of view of identifying cultural codes.
