Belarusian phraseological units and their meaning. Interesting phraseological units - πάπυρος

Phraseologisms(from Greek phrasis + logos - expression, figure of speech) - These are stable, reproducible expressive complexes that have a holistic meaning and perform a single syntactic function. They give speech special expressiveness, emphasizing the national specificity and originality of the language. Without them, a person’s speech is colorless and often does not convey what he feels. But mastering phraseology is a difficult process, and shortcomings are encountered here very often. The basis for the formation of a phraseological unit is semantic simplification, i.e., limiting the meaning of a word that has become a component of a phraseological unit, having its own, single phraseological meaning. For example, the word eye in the four-volume Dictionary of the Russian Language it has three meanings: 1) organ of vision, 2) ability to see; vision; vision, 3) evil eye - the mysterious magical power of a look that brings misfortune. Last meaning of the word eye is idiomatic. In the proverb Too many cooks spoil the broth component without an eye(singular only) is based on the figurative meaning “supervision”, which arose in oral speech on the basis of the second meaning. Expression cry your eyes out- cry a lot and for a long time - relies on the first meaning of the word eye. The phraseological unit is based on the same meaning Tet-a-tet- alone with someone. A phraseological unit, acquiring a single meaning, receives its subject-conceptual orientation, due to which it can become a synonym for the word: Tet-a-tet− alone, beat your head− sit back.

The meaning of a phraseological unit, based on figurative phraseological meanings of its components, is often motivated differently in different languages. Thus, an adverbial phraseological unit of the Russian language Tet-a-tet has correspondence: German. uner vier Augen (literally: between the four eyes), English, face to face (face to face), fr. tete a tete (head to head). Phraseological units do not allow literal (word-by-word) translation: they require searching for a phraseological equivalent of another language, since phraseological meaning is accompanied by emotional, semantic and stylistic expression; for example, phraseology give bream colloquial, and the expression pitch darkness− bookish.

The degree of semantic simplification of the components of a phraseological unit varies; The older the phraseological unit is and the less connected it is with words of general use, the less motivated the phraseological meaning is, the more its internal form is forgotten. The classification of phraseological units is based on the degree of semantic simplification. The most famous classification is V.V. Vinogradov.

1 . Phraseological adhesions: sharpen the lasses, how to drink, on your own mind - The main feature of fusion is its semantic indivisibility, the absolute non-derivability of the meanings of the whole from its components. It represents a semantic unit, homogeneous with a word, devoid of internal form. Phraseological adjuncts are also called idioms. Idioms (phraseological units) do not allow word-by-word (literal) understanding, since one of the components has fallen out of modern word usage; This is also facilitated by a change in shape: laces(instead of balusters− balustrade posts; Wed Italian balaustro − column, baluster), just a joke− vm. tell a joke.

2. Phraseological unities: soap your neck; wash dirty linen in public; shot sparrow; you never know. Adjacent to phraseological units are sayings and proverbs, which have the form not of phrases, but of sentences: The master's work is afraid; Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

A feature of phraseological units is their semantic two-facedness: they can be understood literally(wash dirty linen in public) and figuratively - as one semantic unit, with its own phraseological meaning “to disclose something”.

3. Phraseological combinations− this type of stable combinations in which non-free phraseological meanings of words are realized, for example − look away(from someone): Me with an effort he averted his eyes from that beautiful face. However, when management changes, phraseological unity arises look away(to someone) − to deceive: The courtesy and dexterity that he flaunted in front of the buyer who came to his shop was nothing more than a means of “averting” the buyer’s eyes, “talking his teeth” and in the meantime foisting rotten, faded goods.(G. Uspensky).

Compound names and terms. Phraseologisms are expressive means of language; they are characteristic of oral and book speech, the language of fiction. Due to these properties, compound names differ from phraseological units: they do not have an emotional-figurative meaning. Compound names are nominative means of the language, its constituent lexemes.

Phraseology is a branch of the science of language that studies stable combinations words Phraseologism is a stable combination of words, or a stable expression. Used to name objects, signs, actions. It is an expression that arose once, became popular and became entrenched in people's speech. The expression is endowed with imagery and may have a figurative meaning. Over time, the expression may take on a broad meaning in everyday life, partly including original meaning or completely excluding it.

The phraseological unit as a whole has lexical meaning. The words included in a phraseological unit individually do not convey the meaning of the entire expression. Phraseologisms can be synonymous (at the end of the world, where the raven did not bring bones) and antonymous (raise to heaven - trample into the dirt). A phraseological unit in a sentence is one member of the sentence. Phraseologisms reflect a person and his activities: work (golden hands, playing the fool), relationships in society (bosom friend, putting a spoke in the wheels), personal qualities (turning up his nose, sour face), etc. Phraseologisms make a statement expressive and create imagery. Set expressions are used in works of art, in journalism, in everyday speech. Set expressions are also called idioms. There are many idioms in other languages ​​- English, Japanese, Chinese, French.

To clearly see the use of phraseological units, refer to their list or on the page below.

Phraseology is one of the branches of linguistics that studies stable combinations of words. Surely each of us is familiar with the expressions “beat the bullshit”, “led by the nose”, “out of the blue”, “carelessly”, etc. But how many of us have ever thought about where they came from? our language? I bring to your attention a small selection of phraseological units with their meanings and history of origin, thanks to which you may learn something new and be able to make your speech more expressive and varied.

Let's start, perhaps, with such a well-known expression as "Augean stables", used to describe a very dirty place that will require considerable effort to clean. Phraseologism originates from the times Ancient Greece, where King Augeas lived, who loved horses very much, but not caring for them: the stables where the animals lived had not been cleaned for about thirty years. According to legend, Hercules (Hercules) entered the service of the king, who received orders from Augeas to clean out the stalls. To do this, the strongman used a river, the flow of which he directed into the stables, thereby getting rid of the dirt. Impressive, right?

"Alma mater"(from Latin “mother-nurse”)

In ancient times, students used this phraseological turn, describing educational institution, which, as it were, “fed” them, “raised” and “educated”. Nowadays it is used with some irony.

"Achilles' heel"(weak, vulnerable spot)

The source of this phraseological unit is ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, Thetis, the mother of Achilles, wanted to make her son invulnerable. To do this, she dipped him in sacred river Styx, however, forgot about the heel by which she was holding the boy. Later, while fighting his enemy Paris, Achilles received an arrow in this heel and died.

"Gogol to walk"(walk around with a very important air, self-confidently)

No, this expression has nothing to do with the famous Russian writer, as it might seem at first. Gogol is wild duck, who walks along the shore with her head thrown back and her chest puffed out, which prompts comparison with a person trying to show all his importance.

"Nick down"(very good to remember something)

In this expression, the word “nose” does not mean part of human body. In ancient times, this word was used to refer to tablets on which all sorts of notes were made. People carried it with them as a reminder.

"Get away with your nose"(leave with nothing)

Another phraseological unit associated with the nose. However, like the previous one, it has nothing to do with the organ of smell. This expression originates from Ancient Rus', where bribery was widespread. People, when dealing with the authorities and hoping for a positive outcome, used “prizes” (bribes). If the judge, manager or clerk accepted this “nose”, one could be sure that everything would be resolved. However, if the bribe was rejected, the applicant left with his “nose”.

"Pandora's Box"(source of troubles and misfortunes)

An ancient Greek myth says: before Prometheus stole fire from the gods, people on earth lived in joy and did not know any troubles. In response to this, Zeus sent a woman of unprecedented beauty to earth - Pandora, giving her a casket in which all human misfortunes were stored. Pandora, succumbing to curiosity, opened the casket and scattered them all.

"Filka's letter"(a document of no value, a meaningless piece of paper)

This phraseological turn is rooted in the history of the Russian state, or more precisely, during the reign of Ivan IX the Terrible. Metropolitan Philip, in his messages to the sovereign, tried to convince him to soften his policies and to abolish the oprichnina. In response, Ivan the Terrible only called the Metropolitan “Filka”, and all his letters “Filka”.

These are just some of the phraseological units of the Russian language, which have very interesting story. I hope that the material presented above was useful and interesting for you.

Phraseologisms

Phraseologisms are stable combinations of words, figures of speech such as: “knuckle down”, “hang your nose”, “ask a headache”... A figure of speech, which is called a phraseological unit, is indivisible in meaning, that is, its meaning does not consist of the meanings of its constituent words. It only works as a single unit, a lexical unit.

Phraseologisms are idioms, without an author.

The meaning of phraseological units is to give an emotional coloring to an expression and enhance its meaning.

Many phraseological units can be easily replaced with one word:

headlong - quickly,

close at hand - close.

Often a direct expression turns into a figurative one, expanding the shades of its meaning.

Bursting at the seams - from the tailor's speech it acquired a broader meaning - to fall into decay.

Confuse - from the speech of railway workers it has passed into general use in the sense of causing confusion.

Phraseologisms with the word “NOS”

It is interesting that in phraseological units the word nose practically does not reveal its main meaning. The nose is an organ of smell, but in stable phrases the nose is associated primarily with the idea of ​​something small and short. Remember the fairy tale about Kolobok? When the Fox needed Kolobok to come within her reach and get closer, she asks him to sit on her nose. However, the word nose does not always mean the organ of smell. It also has other meanings. To mutter under one's breath - to grumble, grumpily, mutter indistinctly.

Lead by the nose - this phrase came to us from Central Asia. Visitors are often surprised how small children manage to cope with huge camels. The animal obediently follows the child leading him by the rope. The fact is that the rope is threaded through a ring located in the camel’s nose. Here you want it, you don’t want it, but you have to obey! Rings were also put into the noses of bulls to make their disposition more docile. If a person deceives someone or does not fulfill his promise, then he is also said to be “led by the nose.”

To turn one's nose up means to be unjustifiably proud of something, to boast.

Notch on the nose - Notch on the nose means: remember firmly, once and for all. It seems to many that this was said not without cruelty: it is not very pleasant if you are offered to make a notch on your own face. Unnecessary fear. The word nose here does not mean the organ of smell at all, but just a memorial tablet, a tag for notes. In ancient times, illiterate people always carried such tablets with them and made all kinds of notes on them with notches and cuts. These tags were called noses.

Nodding off means falling asleep.

Nose to nose - on the contrary, close.

Keep your nose to the wind - in glorious times The sailing fleet's movement across the sea was completely dependent on the direction of the wind and the weather. No wind, calm - and the sails drooped, more like a rag. A nasty wind blows into the bow of the ship - you have to think not about sailing, but about dropping all the anchors, that is, “standing at anchor” and removing all the sails so that the air flow does not throw the ship ashore. To go out to sea, a fair wind was required, which inflated the sails and directed the ship forward into the sea. The vocabulary of sailors associated with this received imagery and entered our literary language. Now “keeping your nose to the wind” - in a figurative sense, means adapting to any circumstances. “Drop anchor”, “become anchored” - stop in motion, settle somewhere; “Sitting by the sea and waiting for the weather” is an inactive expectation of change; “Full sail” – moving towards the intended goal full swing, quickly as possible; Wishing someone a “fair wind” means wishing them good luck.

Hanging his nose or Hanging his nose - if suddenly a person is depressed or just sad, it happens about him that they say that he seems to be “hanging his nose,” and they can also add: “by a fifth.” Quinta, translated from Latin, means “fifth.” Musicians, or more precisely, violinists, call this the first string of a violin (the highest one). When playing, the violinist usually supports his instrument with his chin and his nose almost touches this string closest to him. The expression “hanging your nose on a fifth,” perfected among musicians, entered fiction.

I was left with my nose - without what I was counting on.

Right under your nose - close.

Show your nose - tease someone by pointing thumb to the nose and waving to the others.

With a gulkin's nose - very little (a gulkin is a dove, a dove has a small beak).

To poke your nose into other people's affairs is to be interested in other people's affairs.

To leave with your nose - the roots of the expression “to leave with your nose” are lost in the distant past. In the old days, bribery was very common in Rus'. Neither in institutions nor in court was it possible to achieve a positive decision without an offering, a gift. Of course, these gifts, hidden by the petitioner somewhere under the floor, were not called the word “bribe.” They were politely called "bring" or "nose". If the manager, judge or clerk took the “nose”, then one could be sure that the case would be resolved favorably. In case of refusal (and this could happen if the gift seemed small to the official or the offering from the opposite party had already been accepted), the petitioner went home with his “nose”. In this case, there was no hope for success. Since then, the words “to go away with your nose” have come to mean “to suffer defeat, fail, lose, stumble, without achieving anything.
