Abstract
This paper is devoted to the comparative-semantic analysis of numerological phraseological units (PU) in the unrelated languages, namely, Kazakh and English. The identification of the similarities and differences of fixed collocations of multiple languages is a spread type of comparative analysis in phraseology. The possibility of verbalization of the natural environment and man-made environment of ethnic group becomes apparent in comparative studies and description of any lexical-semantic groups of two or more languages. In our work we consider lexical-semantic group of numbers category in Kazakh and English. Numerals are actively involved in the formation of PU, thereby forming a large reservoir of numerological PU and deserve a special consideration. The work is ethnolinguistic and linguoculturological description of the main vernacular numerals, included in the set phrases of the languages. Main methods of the research are: method of semantic analysis, descriptive method, comparative analysis, method of sampling.
Highlights
This work is implemented on the base of the theory of cultural linguistics and is devoted to the comparative-semantic analysis of set phrases with a numeral component, the study of their symbolic significance and cultural identity in unrelated languages, namely, Kazakh and English.Since ancient times numbers served as means of describing the world order and orientation of a human in it, people attributed the numbers the hidden meanings and magical ability to influence on everything around
This paper is devoted to the comparative-semantic analysis of numerological phraseological units (PU) in the unrelated languages, namely, Kazakh and English
We used a complex method of analysis, including: 1) method of semantic analysis involves the analysis of cultural values of the numbers; 2) descriptive method comprises monitoring and classification of the material; 3) comparative analysis identifies the universal and distinctive features of numerals in unrelated languages; 4)method of sampling from different phraseological, defining, bilingual dictionaries by the criterion of existence of the numeral component in the linguistic unit
Summary
This work is implemented on the base of the theory of cultural linguistics and is devoted to the comparative-semantic analysis of set phrases with a numeral component, the study of their symbolic significance and cultural identity in unrelated languages, namely, Kazakh and English.Since ancient times numbers served as means of describing the world order and orientation of a human in it, people attributed the numbers the hidden meanings and magical ability to influence on everything around. The relevance of the problem is due to the interest of modern linguistics to the problem of reflection in language conceptual and value components of the objective world. Verbal representation of real-world objects in a particular culture includes profiles of linguocultural specifics of national language. Important element of conceptual system of human thought is the concept of numbers. In this sense the study of number symbolism is important in determining the characteristics of the world outlook of the considered linguistic cultures. The necessity for comprehensive study of national and cultural symbolics of numbers in the languages determines the relevance of this article
