IDIOMS AND PROVERBS IN ENGLISH
Keywords:
Linguo-culturology, lexical group, specific potential, phraseological unit, language unit;Abstract
Linguo-culturology is a rapidly expanding field at the interface between linguistics, cultural studies, ethno-linguistics and sociolinguistics. It deals with the “deep level” of semantics, and brings into correlation linguistic meanings and the concepts of universal and national cultures. One of the main tasks of linguoculturology is to define culturally important language units. The study of the linguistic literature shows that culture specific units are found in such groups of words as: non-equivalent lexicon, anthroponyms, mytholegemes, phraseological units, paronimia, speech formulas of etiquette, etc.
