Linguacultural Features of Georgian-German and Eastern Phraseological Units - Contrastive Analysis

Abstract

Perception of the world begins with the language. Language is a constituent part of the national culture and a factor involved in its construction. Language, culture and thinking determine and shape national identity and take part in the formation of national character.

Specific characteristics of national identity are best reflected in the phraseological units. Phraseological units of national character are considered to be the part of world linguistic picture.

The aim of the paper is to study phraseological units of Georg­ian, German and Oriental origin, to find their specific characteristics, to do their structural-semantic analysis and study their functioning;

The present paper aims to do contrastive analysis of Georgian, German and Oriental phraseological units and to fill the research gaps in this field.

Georgian lexemes that are borrowed from Arabic, Turkish, Persian are part and parcel of Georgian vocabulary. The foreign origin and historical background of these lexical units are found in their etymology.  Scientific articles that are based on contrastive analysis of phraseological units are always of great interest.
