Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of anthropological phraseological paremiological units of Kazakh, Russian, and English languages in the axiological aspect. The study of stable expressions and proverbs in terms of identifying values, types of emotions reflected in them, is relevant in connection with the recognition of anthropocentric and axiological principles as leading ones in the modern scientific and methodological paradigm of knowledge. The person carries out spiritual cognitive activity and fixes in verbal units the values and emotions that are significant for him. Therefore, the study in the axiological aspect is of interest. The purpose of the work is to consider the values of a person (assessments and emotions fixed in idioms and paremias). The research methods are sociolinguistic, psycho-associative experiments, axiological analysis, and the semantic differential method. According to the results, the values preferred by individual social groups were identified and their value orientations were described; assessments, their types, as well as human emotions reflected in stable phrases and paroemias of the language were characterized; correlation analysis of the correspondence to variables was carried out. As the result of the psycho-associative experiment, associative fields were compiled. A linguo-axiological analysis of the word of the literary text and minimal texts was carried out, and the space of the semantic differential was characterized. The article has a scientific novelty: a) a new approach to the study of phraseological paremiological units is implemented; b) complex methods are applied; c) methods of linguoaxological analysis and the method of semantic differential applied have been developed.
