Expression of a person’s emotional state using phraseological units with a color component in Russian and Persian languages

Abstract

This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of phraseological units with a color component in Russian and Persian linguistic cultures, expressing the emotional state of a person. Color is an integral part of the perception of the reality around us; with its help, we can consciously or unconsciously convey our mood, inner state, and attitude towards everything around us. Phraseologisms, being a stable combination, give speech an emotional coloring and figuratively characterize a particular state. The object of the study is phraseological units of the Russian and Persian languages containing a colorative component, selected by a continuous sampling method from explanatory, phraseological, etymological and encyclopedic dictionaries and other literary sources of the Russian and Persian languages. The main research method used in this work is the comparative method and axiological analysis of phraseological units containing a color component in the Russian and Persian languages. Let us note that work on the comparative analysis of various lexical units is currently being carried out quite actively, but research in the field of comparing phraseological units with the color component of the Russian and Persian languages is not numerous. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study and understanding of information about the emotional state of a person, which is conveyed by phraseological units of the Russian and Persian languages, containing a color component. Based on the results of the study, the symbolism and associative perception characteristic of representatives of Russian and Persian culture were determined, and the colors included in the phraseological units characterizing the emotional state of a person were identified, and the subjective evaluative attitude of a person to existing or possible situations and the objective world was indicated, transmitted by them.
