characteristic of these examples.
The following examples correspond to the same
component structure:
take (the) bread out of smb’s mouth and otbivat’ khleb u kogo;
pop the question and delat’ predlozhenie komu;
hit smb where it hurts and nastupat’ na mozol’ komu;
cry on smb’s shoulder and plakat’ v zhiletku;
recover one’s temper and овладеть собой;
speak (talk) smb’s (the same) language and najti obshhij jazyk;
soft (touched, weak) in the head and mozgi nabekre’ u kogo;
get one‘s monkey up and met’ ikru (to rage, make noise, to swear, quarrel), etc.
It should be noted that, if semantic equivalents are presented mostly by monoequivalents (there is only one possible translation of the phraseological unit), semantic analogues, on the contrary, can be interpreted in many ways, i.e. a Russian phraseological unit may have two or more English compliances. For example:
otpravljat` na tot svet kogo and send smb to his account; send smb to glory; moloko na gubah ne obsohlo u kogo and wet behind the ears; still green; still in swaddling clothes (swaddling-clothes);
dva sapoga para and birds of a feather; nothing/not much/ to choose between them; there is nothing to choose between them; there‘s/not a pin to choose between them; they make a pair.
The third type of phraseological compliances, partial semantic analogues, are characterized by distinctions in the seme structure of significative and denotative macrocomponent and in the emotive, expressive and functional and stylistic components. Comparing similar units, certain semantic divergences concerning, first of all, their significative and denotative macrocomponent are found. These divergences are observed not only in the differential, but also in one integral seme. Partial semantic analogues, the third type of semantic compliances of the English and Russian phraseological units are presented.
The English phraseological unit “carry the ball” (“to be active, to work, play the major role, to bear the main responsibility”) and the Russian phraseological unit “igrat pervuyu skripku” (to be the main thing in any business) have a coinciding hyperseme “people”, the seme “position of a person in any business” and concretizing seme “the main situation”. The English unit also has an integral seme of “action”, differential semes of “image of action” (actively) and “responsibility” (the main situation or role in this case). Differences in the functional and stylistic component (i.e. phrase- semantic option of the phraseological unit “carry the ball” is colloquial) can also be observed.
The English phraseological unit shut, (stop) of smb’s mouth (“to make someone silent; to make someone stop talking) and Russian unit ne davat ‘rta raskryt’ komu (“not to allow anyone to talk, to express one’s opinion”) are also considered to be partial semantic analogues. The English example includes a specific seme of verbal influence of one person on another “to make someone stop talking” in the significative and denotative macrocomponent, whereas this seme is absent in the Russian phraseological unit. We observe here that the coincidence of the functional and stylistic component in both units is colloquial.
The ambivalent neutral estimating seme is presented in the connotation of both units: on the one hand, one may not allow someone to tell the truth, something valuable, on the other hand, one may “shut someone’s mouth”, to make the traitor silent and thereby save someone’s life.
The following example also corresponds to the same component structure:
dip into one’s pocket (purse) -to spend money; show a bit of generosity” and Russian unit ne schitat’ deneg (rublej) “to have a lot of money, to spend money, without thinking or counting it”.
In determining the levels of semantic compliance of multilingual phraseological units semantic scaling must also be addressed.
Phraseologisms are special units of the language, which reflect the cultural identity of the people. They indirectly reflect the view people, social system, ideology of their era. The phraseological wealth of any language is the property of its folk national linguistic consciousness. Most phraseological units cannot be translated into other languages: each nation manifests in them its own nature, the usual figurative manner of speech. The impact of phraseological units gives the language the brightness of the features of the national character and a unique flavor, which distinguishes one from the other both the languages of centuries-old culture and the literary languages that are newly formed by writing.
The English language is very rich in phraseological units. His phraseological system captures the vast historical experience of the people, it reflects the life and culture of the nation. Getting acquainted with a foreign language, a person simultaneously penetrates into a new national culture.
There are various methods of systematizing phraseological units. Linguists have not yet developed a single principle for the classification of phraseological units. We will consider several classifications phraseological units of the English language offered by different authors.
Semantic classification of phraseological units. The most widely known is the classification of Academician V.V.Vinogradov. In accordance with it, all phraseological units from the point of view of semantic fourteen technical fusion of components are divided into three categories: phraseological fusion, phraseological unity, phraseological combinations.¹⁰
It is well known that phraseological units appear from a free combination words, which is used in a figurative sense. Of course over time the portability is forgotten, erased, and the combination becomes stable. Depending on how erased the nominative meanings of the components of the phraseological unit, how strong the figurative meaning is in them, V.V. Vinogradov and divides them into three types: “phraseological adhesions, phraseological unity and phraseological combinations. Let us analyze these types of phraseological units in use for modern English language”.¹¹
Phraseological adhesions. Phraseological adhesions, or idioms, are completely indivisible, indecomposable stable combinations, the general meaning of which does not depend on the meaning of their constituent words: kick the bucket (colloquial) - to bend, die; stretch your legs; send smb. to Coventry - boycott someone, stop communicating with anyone; at bay - hunted down, in ahopeless position; be at smb’s beck and call - to be always ready for services; - to run errands; to rain cats and dogs - pouring like a bucket (about rain); be all thumbs - be awkward, awkward; Kilkenny cats are deadly enemies. Phraseological adhesions occurred on the basis of figurative meanings of their components, but as a result, these figurative values became incomprehensible from the point of view modern language. The imagery of phraseological adhesions is revealed only historically. For example, the words “bay” meaning “dead end” and “beck” – “wave of the hand”are archaisms and are not used anywhere except for the phraseological unit given above. Or, for example, the expression to be all thumbs was historically formed from the expression ones fingers are all thumbs. We consider a similar thing in the phraseological units of Kilkenny cats (which, apparently, dates back to the legend of a fierce struggle between the cities of Kilkenny and Irishtown in the 17th century, which led to their ruin) and send smb. to Coventry (in the book Clarendon’s “The History of the Great Rebellion and Civil Wars in England” tells that during the English Revolution there was a prison in the city of Coventry, which contained exiled royalists. ¹²
Consequently, in phraseological adhesions, the connection between direct and figurative meanings has been destroyed, the figurative has become the main thing for them. That is why phraseological splices are difficult to translate into other languages.
Phraseological adhesions have a number of characteristic features:
-their composition may include the so-called necroticism - words that nowhere, except for this splicing, are not used, are incomprehensible as a result this from the point of view of modern language;
-the structure of adhesions includes archaisms;
-they are syntactically indivisible;
-in them, in most cases, the permutation of the components is unacceptable;
-they are characterized by impermeability
- do not admit to their structure
-auxiliary words.
Losing its free lexical meaning, “... words that enter into the composition of a phraseological splicing, turn into components of a complex a lexical unit that matches the meaning of a particular word”.
Consequently, many phraseological splices are synonymous with the words:
-kick the bucket - to die; send smb. To Coventry - to ignore, etc. But not worth it forget that, as mentioned in the chapter on the equivalence of phraseological unit word, from the point of view of stylistics PhU and the word are far from each other.
Phraseological unity. Phraseological unity is such a stable combination of words in which, in the presence of a single figurative meaning, clearly retains the features of the semantic separation of components: to spill the beans - give a secret; to burn bridges - burn bridges; to have other fish to fry - to have more important things to do; to throw dust into smb’s eyes - speak teeth; to burn ones fingers - get burned on something; to throw mud at smb - pour mud; to be narrow in the shoulders - do not understand jokes; to paint the devil blacker than he is - to exaggerate the colors; to put a spoke in smb’s wheel - put a spoke in wheel ; to hold ones cards close to ones chest hold something in secret, do not divulge anything, keep quiet, keep your tongue out teeth; to gild refined gold - to gild pure gold, try to improve, decorate something already good enough; to paint the lily - tint the color of a lily, try to improve or decorate something that doesn't need in improvement.
“Phraseological unity is somewhat close to phraseological mergers in their imagery, metaphoricity”. But unlike phraseological adhesions, where the figurative content is revealed only diachronically, in phraseological units, imagery, portability understood from the point of view of modern language V.V. Vinogradov notes expressiveness is a characteristic feature only of phraseological unity. “The connection between the components of phraseological unity is motivated, metaphorization is clearly felt ”. To understand the phraseological unity, it is necessary to perceive its components in a figurative sense. For example, the meaning of the expression makes a mountain out of a molehill is to do from an elephant fly, i.e. greatly embellish something (literally, make a mountain from a mound of a mole's mink), is revealed only if the word molehill is considered to mean “something insignificant, small”, and the word mountain is something very big. As part of phraseological there are no words that are not clear from the point of view of modern language.
Characteristic features of phraseological units:
-bright expressiveness and the resulting possibility of convergence with simultaneously existing phrases (compare: to throw dust into smb’s eyes, to be narrow in the shoulders, to burn ones fingers, to burn bridges);
-saving the semantics of individual components (to put a spoke in smb’s wheel);
-inadmissibility of exchanging some components with others (to hold one’s cards close to one’s chest);
-emotionally expressive coloration plays a decisive role (to throw dust into smb’s eyes, to paint the devil blacker than he is);
-the ability to enter into synonymous relationships with individual words, or other phraseological units (to gild refined gold = to paint the lily).
Phraseological combinations. Phraseological combinations are stable turns, which include words with both free and phraseologically related meaning: a bosom friend is a bosom friend, a pitched battle is a fierce battle, (to have) a narrow escape - miraculously escape, to frown ones eyebrows frown eyebrows, Adam’s apple – Adam’s apple, a Sisyfean labor - Sisyphus labor, rack one’s brains - to puzzle (think hard, remember), to pay attention to smb; - to draw attention to someone, etc.
Unlike phraseological mergers and phraseological unities, having integral indivisible meaning, “phraseological combinations are characterized by semantic decomposition ”. In this respect, they come close to free phrases.
Characteristic features of phraseological combinations:
-the variance of one of the components is permissible in them (a bosom friend is a bosom friend, a bosom buddy is a bosom friend);
-Possible synonymous replacement of the pivot word (a pitched battle - a fierce battle, a fierce battle - a fierce battle);
-the inclusion of concepts is permissible (he frowned his thick eyebrows, he frowned thick eyebrows);
-permutation of components is permissible (a Sisyfean labor - Sisyphus labor, a eighteen labor of Sisyphus - labor of Sisyphus);
-the free use of one of the components and the associated the use of another (a bosom friend is a bosom friend: a bosom friend is not maybe the enemy or someone else).
The advancement of reproducibility in the form of the main feature of phraseological units allowed Professor N.M. Shansky to develop further the classification academician V.V. Vinogradov. As a result, N.M. Shansky identifies the fourth type of phraseological units - the so-called “phraseological expressions”. ¹³
Phraseological expressions. Phraseological expressions are such stable in their composition and application of phraseological phrases, which consist entirely from words with “ free nominative meaning and semantically divisible ”. Their only feature is reproducibility: they are used as prepared speech units with a stable lexical composition and specific semantics. Phraseological expressions are only phrases with literal the value of the components. The phraseological expressions include numerous English proverbs and sayings that apply in the literal sense, do not have a figurative allegorical meaning: live and learn - live and learn; better untaught than ill taught - it is better to be an uneducated than a wrong scientist; many men, many mind - how many heads, so many minds; easier said than done - easier said than done; nothing is impossible to a willing heart - whoever wants it will get it.
The classification of types of interlingual relations proposed by A.D Raykhstein is also of great interest .¹⁴ The author distinguishes the following quality types of interlingual relations: identity (full coincidence of the aspect organization and cumulative meaning); lexical variation or structural synonymy (full coincidence of cumulative sense and syntactic organization at incomplete identity of component structure); ideographic synonymy (incomplete identity of cumulative significative value due to the presence of specific semantic features in both multilingual phraseological units regardless of the aspect identity). A. D. Raykhstein also highlights the hyper-hyponymy (incomplete identity of cumulative significative meaning due to the presence in one of the compared phraseological units of additional, specifying semantic features regardless of the aspect identity), stylistic synonymy (incomplete identity of cumulative sense due to the differences in the stylistic value), homonymy and polysemy (identity of the aspect organization in case of greater or smaller differences in the cumulative sense), enantiosemy (identity of the aspect organization in case of the opposition of cumulative meaning). This detailed classification takes into account all possible divergences both in formal and semantic organization of phraseological units, and in their cumulative content. Particularly valuable (in relation to our research) is the identification of such types of the interlingual relations as ideographic synonymy and hypero-hyponymy where we take into account the existence of additional differential semes in significative and denotative meaning of phraseological units.
In his book, “ The Typology of Translation Compliances in the English-Russian Phraseological Dictionary” A. V. Kunin points out different types of translation for achieving maximum adequacy while transferring phraseological units from English into Russian. The author points out equivalents, analogues, antonymic translation, the descriptive translation, loan translation, combined translation, as well as occasional or situational equivalents and clarifying translations used in the translation of illustrative examples.¹⁵
A. V. Kunin's definition of phraseological equivalents and analogues is of great value. We agree with the author, that a Russian phraseological unit is thought to be equivalent when it coincides with the English unit in meaning, on a figurative basis and stylistic colouring. The equivalent is a monoequivalent, i.e. the only possible translation by means of the phraseological unit.¹⁶ When the meaning, the stylistic colouring and close figurativeness all coincide, lexical and grammatical divergences can be observed. The term “analogue” is used by A. V. Kunin for the definition of the Russian phraseological unit which in meaning and stylistic orientation is adequate to the English one, but differs from it in figurative value.
Thus, the semantic criterion is the cornerstone of terminological definition of the two types of interlingual compliances of phraseological units, which is the basis for the differentiation of the allomorphic and isomorphic phenomena. The classification of phraseological equivalents and other types of the translation offered by A. V. Kunin is considered multilateral and comprehensive both for the solution to translation problems and for defining the types of interlingual correlation of phraseological units of two compared languages.
We can conclude that the majority of studies, while determining the types of interlingual phraseological compliances / discrepancies, use as a basis such parameters as the coincidence of semantics, of grammatical (syntactic) organization and component (lexemic) structure of multilingual phraseological units at an unconditionall primacy of semantic identity / difference or the plan of content. However, the plan of content is characterized in different ways: as cumulative content of phraseological units, as meaning, as stylistic colouring, as phraseo-logical images; as cumulative sense of the compared units; as semantic and stylistic properties of phraseological units, etc.
A component analysis method, based on the criteria of identity and difference of seme organization of phraseological units, provides a more complex and in-depth analysis of the description of the semantic structure of phraseological meaning in English and Russian. The study of interlingual phraseological compliances / non-compliances on the semantic level can help to elicit some new and useful information on the description of the structure of English and Russian phraseological meaning, identify stable semantic correlations between them and define similarities and distinctions in the language picture of the world.
Defining the types of interlingual phraseological compliances / differences in this research we focus primarily on complex criterion which includes semantics coincidence, grammatical (syntactic) organization and component (lexical) structure of multilingual phraseological units (at an unconditional primacy of semantic identity / difference or content plan). Semantic identity or difference of multilingual phraseological units means the identity or difference of their seme structure, of a simplified set of minimum semantic components of significative and denotative, and connotative components of phraseological meaning. The coincidence of seme structure of significative and denotative macrocomponent means the coincidence of integrated and differential semes in the structure of phraseological meaning of the English and Russian phraseological units. Semantic equivalence in our research means full coincidence of seme structure of significative and denotative macrocomponent and the four components of connotation: the estimating, emotive, expressive seme and the functional and stylistic component.
Some distinctions can be characteristic of component structure of phraseological meaning of multilingual phraseological units. First of all they concern a connotative macrocomponent, namely such components as functional and stylistic,and emotive components,which can differ as identical seme-structure of significative and denotative macrocomponent. Very often, however, partial differences in seme structure of significative and denotative whole are observed (an ideographic synonymy and hypero-hyponymy, according to A. D. Raykhstein’s classification), i.e. the existence of differential additional seme (or semes) in one of the compared phraseological unit or in both. In this case both coincidence and difference of the three components of connotation can be observed: of emotive, of expressive and of functional and stylistic component. Similar partial divergences similarity are characteristic of semantic analogues.
Analysing the extensive phraseological material it was revealed that the allocated types of semantic equivalents and analogues do not incorporate all phraseological units which are outside phraseological lacunarity. Comparing similar units, certain semantic divergences concerning, first of all, their significative and denotative macrocomponent are found. These divergences which are observed not only in the differential, but also in one integral seme are characteristic of partial semantic analogues. In our research, allocation of such a group is therefore dictated by the needs of phraseography and, to a certain extent, is rather conditional and rarely applicable. In partial semantic analogues the connotation components (except for the estimating one) can either coincide, or differ.
Thus, the primacy of semantic identity / difference as identification of the types of interlingual phraseological compliances / non-compliances means that the component theory which is based on the component analysis method serves as the organizing theory when determining these types. Such an approach to the solution of the problem of criteria of identity and difference between phraseological units of the compared languages is justified when considering that, in numerous monolingual and multilingual studies of the phraseological material, the method of the component analysis is used.
Phraseology is one of the branches of the science of language that studies the etymology, semantics, structure and functioning of phraseological units. In scientific linguistic literature, the term “phraseological unit” is considered in a broad and narrow sense. Some researchers attribute aphorisms, idioms, paremias and catchphrases to phraseological units. In the lexical composition of the language, phraseological units occupy a significant place, since they figuratively and accurately convey thought, reflect various aspects of reality.
Phraseologisms for the most part not only denote a certain phenomenon of reality, but also characterize it, give it a certain assessment. In a semanticsense, they correspond to unified concepts, expressing the meaning of objectivity, process, quality, property or method, have grammatical categories determined by morphological forms and syntactic function in a sentence, and reveal patterns in relation to the general system of language, which are manifested in lexical compatibility, stylistic and emotionally expressive coloring of meaning and synonymous connections. Winged words are traditionally viewed as a means of figurative and expressive literary speech. The name of the term goes back to the work of the ancient Greek poet Homer, in whose poems “ Iliad ” and “ The Odyssey”it occurs more than once: He uttered a winged word, We exchanged winged words among themselves quietly. The figurative expression of Homer, which arose from the association of pronouncing a word, as a flight to the ear of a hearer from the mouth of a speaker, has become a term of linguistics. They denote short quotations, figurative expressions, sayings of historical figures, names of mythological and literary characters that have become common nouns, characteristics of historical figures, which have entered our speech from literary sources, etc. Popular sayings, sayings, all kinds of figurative expressions, both literary and everyday origin, can also be attributed to winged words. Metaphoricity, emotionality, evaluativeness, expressiveness - all these qualities of phraseological units give our speech brightness, imagery and expressiveness. The etymology and semantics of the phraseological fund of the language is directly related to the cultural and historical experience of the people. The phraseology reflects ideas related to work, life and culture of the people. Phraseologisms are used in everyday speech, in works of art and in journalism. They give the language a special expressiveness, unique originality and often have a bright national character.
Researcher T.Z. Cherdantseva defines the meaning of phraseology in the aspect of the linguistic picture of the world: “The phraseology of any language is the most valuable linguistic heritage, which reflects the vision of the world, national culture, customs and beliefs, fantasy and history of the people speaking it.¹⁷ Stable stereotypical phrases and phrases often represent structures reflecting certain periods of the state and development of each specific language, its history”.
In recent years, interest in the comparative study of the phraseology of languages of different structures has significantly increased, when universal and specific features of phraseological units within certain groups and fields began to emerge. In the research paradigms of recent decades, the process of anthropologizing knowledge began to dominate, affecting almost all spheres of scientific knowledge and expressed in the desire to comprehend them through the prism of the human worldview. Phraseological nomination is never primary. It is always secondary or tertiary. When phraseological units are formed, two meanings are usually combined in it: primary, original (or etymological) and secondary, derivative or material, actual; while the second is associated with the motivating etymological meaning (internal form) metaphorical, less often - by metonymic relations. Let us dwell on the role of the metaphorical factor in the formation of phraseological meaning.
Speaking about different ways of forming phraseological meaning, E.V. Kuznetsova identifies three factors underlying these methods. We will not dwell on the first two, since they are associated with the formation of both separate words and stable reproducible turns of a nominative character, with a dismembered meaning (phraseological combinations and expressions). The third, most powerful factor in education is the factor of metaphorization. There is a wide and narrow understanding of metaphor. This is how N.D. Arutyunova “ Metaphor” (from the Greek metaphora - transfer) is a trope or mechanism of speech, consisting in the use of a word denoting a certain class of objects, phenomena, etc. to characterize or name an object belonging to another class, or the name of another class of objects, similar to this in any respect. In a broad sense, the term “metaphor” is applied to any kind of use of words in an indirect sense. “A metaphor” in the narrow sense is defined as a transfer of a name based on similarity. Examples of phraseological metaphors: milk on the lips has not dried up - someone is still very young and inexperienced; lying on your side - messing around; sit back - do nothing, do nothing; expose a leg to someone - deliberately harm, etc.
At the same time, there are phraseological units, the figurative meaning of which is formed on the basis of contiguity (metonymy;)or the relationship of a part and a whole (synecdoche; )Forexample: shave your forehead - take a soldier; a strong hand is an influential patron; the right hand is the first assistant, the main confidant; tongue without bones someone is very talkative, etc. It should also be noted the difference between metaphor and metonymy in the syntagmatic aspect. Metonymy gravitates towards the position of the subject and other reference members of the sentence, writes N.D. Arutyunov. - It cannot be used in a predicate. Metaphor, on the other hand, in its primary function is strongly associated with the position of the predicate. This distribution follows from the nature of each trail.
In other words, metaphor fulfills a characterizing function and, therefore, is focused mainly on the position of the predicate, while metonymy performs an identifying function in a sentence and therefore is focused on the position of the subject and other actants. Hence, verbal and adjective phraseological units refer, as a rule, to the metaphorical type (lead by the nose, tie hand and foot, hold the tongue, stretch the legs; blood with milk, skin and bones, etc.). Among the substantive phraseological units, there are many formed according to the type of synecdoches (spruce head; violent head; foolish head; evil tongues, etc.). Speaking about the formation of PU, B.A. Larin emphasizes that the most important condition for the emergence of phraseological units is “semantic enrichment, called metaphorization, the essence of which is to expand and generalize the meaning towards figurative typicality”. In other words, the derivative, secondary meaning of phraseological units is associated with the motivating etymological meaning, as a rule, a metaphorical connection (in a broad sense).
At the same time, between the initial, etymological meaning and the secondary, actual in the process of metaphorization, a “mediator” arises, which is the bearer of the figurative representation and which is usually called the internal form of phraseological units. The term “ internal form ” was first introduced into linguistics by A.A. Take a little bit of a poetic word. Later this concept was applied to the phraseological unit. Many linguists paid attention to the problem of the internal form of phraseological units in their works. “The internal form of the word,” he writes, “ it is a residual element of the semantics of the derivative word, conveying the idea of the attribute by which the object is named, and thus motivating the name of the object. At the same time, it is important to note that objects are named not necessarily according to the most essential feature, but according to the one that catches the eye; such a sign, insignificant from a logical point of view, is essential from a linguistic point of view, as a distinctive sign of a concept. Many researchers of phraseology describe various thematic groups of phraseological units: for example, phraseological units denoting character traits, properties, qualities of a person, phraseological units expressing emotions, etc. It is necessary to describe thematic groups and phraseological units of the Uzbek and English languages.
