Abstract

© 2018, Editura Universitaria Craiova. All rights reserved. This paper presents an analysis of paroemias with the “food” component in the Tatar and Russian languages. The subject of the study is the functional-pragmatic originality of paroemias with the “food” component in Tatar and Russian linguocultures. The paper proposes a typology of phraseosemantic groups, the most significant of which are family relations. In this group, the food code enters the sphere of imagery and is focused on the characterization of lexemes with the semantics of kinship – family. Paroemias with the “food” component in the compared languages show similarities at the level of semantics, while imagery, which is inherent in languages with different structures, remains unique and reflects the specifics of the worldview of the people.
