Abstract
The author of the article explores the use of comparative constructions in the language of Belarusian proverbs and sayings, which are the soul of the Belarusian people, the basis of their culture. Comparative constructions are characterized on the morphological and syntactic level. Within the framework of morphology, comparative forms are considered as a variant of the all-union introduction of comparison into the composition of a sentence. This can be an adjective, adverb word or impersonal predicative word in the degree of comparison, or the word form in the instrumental case, which conveys a comparative meaning. At the syntactic level, the system of comparative constructions in paremic texts is represented by various groups: comparisons that are part of the predicate, actual comparisons, comparative expressions and comparative parts of a complex sentence. The author concludes that comparative constructions are characterized by their brightness, depth, and capacity of artistic generalization; therefore, the comparison has a great emotional impact.
