THE ORIGIN OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH ONOMASTIC COMPONENTS: A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS
Abstract
During the process of formation phraseological units in any language linguistic, cultural, and historical effects are shown. Understanding the origins of these phraseological elements and their development across many languages is the goal of this study. The study uses a paradoxical method to investigate the role proper names have in phraseological meaning as well as the degree to which historical and cultural factors influence these expressions. The results underscore the similarities and variations between languages in terms of their usage and interpretation, as well as the part mythical, historical, literary, and religious personalities play in phrase formation.
Keywords
