Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the opposition «Own - Alien», which is significant in intercultural communication, and the peculiarities of its implementation. «Own - Alien» is presented as a universal basic concept of culture and linguistic culture. The article presents the results of the analysis of the process of conceptualization of the opposition «Own - Alien» based on the material of proverbs and phraseological units of the Chinese language containing the terms of kinship «father / mother». In the course of the study, chengyu were selected and further divided into semantic modules and micromodules. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to achieve mutual understanding between representatives of Russian and Chinese cultures, as well as the need to analyze both general and national-specific patterns of the implementation of the opposition «Own - Alien» in Chinese chengyu, which convey information about the mentality of the nation. The object of the study was the mechanisms of language actualization of the opposition «Own - Alien». The subject of the proposed study is a system of semantic modules that actualize the opposition «Own - Alien» through the terms of kinship «father / mother». The purpose of the work is to develop a classification of the conceptual fields «one's own» and «alien». The study was carried out on base of the material of Chinese chengyu dictionaries.
