Comparative analysis of phraseological units and paroemias with names of fish in the Russian and Kyrgyz languages

the article provides a comparative analysis of one of the significant fragments of the phraseological picture of the world – phraseological and paremiological units with names of fish in the Russian and Kyrgyz languages. The main purpose of the work is to describe the universal and nationally specific features of these units, to study the factors that determine the various phraseological activity of zoonyms. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the studied units have a vivid national and cultural specificity, which is due to differences in the lifestyle and traditions of ethnic groups. Unlike the Kyrgyz ethnic group, fishing has traditionally been very important in the life of the Russian people, which has led to the formation of numerous phraseological units and parodies, including the names of various species of fish. Russian phraseological units are semantically diverse and are grouped into 5 semantic and grammatical classes. A common feature of Russian and Kyrgyz paroemias is the presence of an internal form based on the associative connection "fish – water", however, nationally specific components are also distinguished in the composition of proverbs – the names of a person by profession or the designations of certain types of commercial fish that are absent in the compared language. One of the manifestations of national specificity is the presence of phraseological units in the Russian language that go back to literary sources. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results obtained in lexicographic practice and in translation studies.
