The Representation of the Concept of VIRTUOUSNESS in the Spanish and Swedish Language Images of the World
Abstract
The article looks at a part of the language image of the world verbalizing the concept of virtuousness in Spanish and Swedish. For this purpose 50 paremiological units in Spanish and 37 proverbs in Swedish are being analysed. All of these units represent didactic aphorisms thematically connected with the rules of good form in the Spanish speaking and Swedish speaking societies respectively. Cognitive analysis of proverbial material allows us to understand the national peculiarities of the concept in question in both cultures in the comparative aspect. The author of the article presents a cognitive classification of proverbs in both languages, analyses the structure and the contents of the concept of virtuousness and, as a result, reveals some paremiological units in the Swedish language equivalent or similar in their meaning to their Spanish counterparts.
