Abstract

The article is devoted to semantic characteristics and structure of phrasemes in the Ukrainian, Croatian and Polish languages with a somatic component that verbalize the concept of “death” and their significance in the national and language worldview. In the article phraseology is seen in terms of its field structure, when its object is explored from the perspective of the phraseological periphery and core. Phrasemes with a somatic component are one of the largest groups in phraseology, because the anthropomorphic model of the world and human as its key element are among the oldest. The importance of the functions of сertain body parts and organs influences the ability of somatism to form phraseologisms: the more important the organ, the more productive it is in creating phrases. Awareness of the phenomenon of physicality allows people to explain and perceive the phenomenon of death. Сoncept is a complex of ideas about a certain object, which is a reflection of the cultural system in which it is represented. Сoncept is often verbalized in phraseologies, when its components present a particular concept. One of the significant elements of the picture of the world is the concept of “death”. The comparative analysis of somatic phraseologisms of the Ukrainian, Croatian and Polish languages confirms that the picture of the world of Ukrainian, Croatian and Polish people showed through phraseologies has a number of common and distinct features. Identical phraseologisms in form and content attest to the affinity of phraseological fund of the analyzed languages.
