The influence of meteonyms on the development of paremic semantics

Abstract

Since hyman cognition of the environment is based on the peculiarities of their perception of natural phenomena, meteorological vovabulary in the language belongs to the most ancient lexical layer. Meteonyms possess deep ethnocultural content and are often a component of proverbs. Meteonyms in proverbs, which provide a lot of information about the worldview and culture of each nation, have a high potential for transforming the paremic meaning. The article examines the semantic nature of paremiological parallels, which contain meteonyms, in the languages ​​of the Kypchak, Oghuz, Karluk and Bulgar groups of Turkic languages. The function of meteonyms in the formation and development of paremic meaning is analyzed and the direct influence on the change in the meaning of proverbs is determined. The continuity of three levels in the semantic structure of proverbs containing meteonyms, that is the literal meaning of the syntactic structure, the factual meaning of the paremia determined on a logical basis, the situational or pragmatic-functional meaning used in different life situations, is considered on the basis of an analysis of the semantic field of meteorological vocabulary.
