Description of a Person’s Appearance in Russian and Chinese Languages on the Material of Stable Comparisons: The Linguocultural Aspect
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe the appearance of a person by means of stable comparisons (US) with the component-zoonym in Russian and Chinese. 520 Russian and about 250 Chinese units were selected for the analysis. The search for units for description was aimed at identifying units that, first, coincide (partially or completely) in their component composition, but differ in meaning, connotation, and symbolism. Secondly, units that do not have semantic analogues, expressed by phraseological means of the language. Third, we selected units that have semantic analogues in the two languages, which are expressed by different lexical means. Russian stable comparisons with the component-zoonym are used in the Russian language, as a rule, to describe the unattractive appearance of a person. In Chinese, these units can also be used to describe a beautiful appearance. This work is devoted to the description of these features
