THE NATIONAL-CULTURAL VALUES OF THE TATARS IN PAREMIES WITH LEXEMAS “OY / YORT” (HOUSE)

Abstract

At the present stage of the development of linguistics, many works are concerned with the issues of linguistic research in close connection with ethnic consciousness, ethnic psychology, and ethnic culture. Of particular interest is the paremiological resource of language units, since paremias store information about material and spiritual culture, the worldview of native speakers and allow for reconstructing the most important stereotypes of national consciousness. This article deals with the study of the language representation of the lexemes“өй / йорт” (house) in Tatar paremiology. The lexicosemantic analysis of words and connected combinations is accompanied in this paper by cultural and ethnological excursions into the field of material and spiritual culture, ritual practice, customs, etc., i.e. a linguistic sign is considered in the context of other semiotic systems. The idea of semantic unity of the culture of the Tatar people was laid down in attracting linguistic, folklore, ethnographic materials, while the analysis of the text remains primarily linguistic. We conclude that өй (house) in the Tatar linguistic culture among other concepts of the material world occupies a special place. This lexeme forms the core of the lexical group “house”, and the Tatar people associate it not only with a place for living, but also with a family home, where parents, wife, husband, children, grandmother, grandfather and others are connected with warm family ties.
