PRASEOLOGICAL MEANS OF COLOR VERBALIZATION IN KAZAKH, KOREAN AND ENGLISH: WHITE AND BLACK

Abstract

The article describes the originality of color designations, which is manifested in the phraseological picture of the world. Color lexemes vividly and figuratively reflect the characteristic features of people worldview, the influence of cultural, mythological and traditional-symbolic factors of derivative meanings formation. Phraseological conceptualization of the world is a cognitive and analytical verbalization process of integral socio-cultural and intercultural aspects of life through stable language units.

The purpose of the study is to analyze and compare phraseological units of color, which allows us to establish certain characteristics of the corresponding concept. Based on the analysis of phraseological units with the components “white” / “black”, selected by sampling from phraseological dictionaries of three languages, we identified the characteristics of the color concept under study.

The article uses methods of component analysis and distribution to study the semantics of phraseological units with color components in the language, features of meaning and its use in various contexts.

As a result of the experiment, students of the philological and technical faculties were asked to note the peculiarities of their color perception using the example of 200 phraseological units of all three languages with the components “white” / “black”. More students perceive the color black as a kind of groom, fear and darkness. The associative sign “death” was noted by a smaller number of participants, only less than a quarter of the recipients perceived the color black positively. The percentages of cognitive perception to the color white are as follows: more than half of the students noted such associations as purity, innocence, light; More than a quarter of students have negative color perception and associate white with death and failure.

The significance of the study is to determine the comparative cognitive perception of the color concept of different nations, their cultural aspect, as well as the influence of verbalization of color in language. Studying the linguistic concept of the world through phraseological units provides a wide range of cognitive perception of language.

The research can be used by linguists to study the linguistic picture of the world, translation studies and guides, foreign language teachers, and for further study in comparative linguistics.
