Journal Title: Записки з українського мовознавства - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 23
Abstract
The article continues the series of the author’s publications devoted to the study of axiological dimension of phrasemes in national and language worldview of Ukrainian, Russian and English people. One of the main concepts of axiology is value as well as 32 assessment. The need to study axiological worldview is predetermined by the functional purpose of values in human life. The value of «health» is qualified as natural, intransitive, absolute value of life, which is situated at the highest level of the hierarchy of values along with beauty, truth, happiness and so on. The article describes axiological potential of anatomical and physiological characteristics of a human being, positioned in the research as a component of the value of «health» at phrasemic level of axiological worldview. The object of research is phrasemes of the evaluative semantics; the subject is phrasemes with archiseme ‘health’. The source base is phrasemes that are gleaned from Ukrainian, Russian, English reputable phraseografic publications. The description of the value of «health» in a phraseme has been made with the method of parametric analysis of semantic structure of a phraseme. The value, which is presented by phrasemes, is formed by axiological oppositions. Phrasemic axiological opposition shall mean the unity of two blocks: the first one is comprised of the phrasemes semantics of which correlates with values (grade of «consider it to be ‘good’»), such as «health», and the second – the phrasemes the semantics of which correlates with the sub-values (grade of «consider it to be ‘bad’»), such as «ill health». The theoretical value of the article is to deepen the knowledge of the features of language presentation of values on the phrasemic level of axiological worldview. Results of the study may find practical application in higher education courses of general linguistics, modern Ukrainian language, special courses of topical issues of linguistics and so on. Anatomical and physiological characteristics of a human being are the components of the value of «health» and form phrasemic axiological opposition «health (normal) – ill health (abnormal)». Axiological specificity of phrasemes, which is interpreted to be a deviation from the norm, is caused by the presence of evaluative and marked lexeme; emotional association connected with a specific component of phraseme (somatism, zoonym , floronim, colouronim etc.); the presence of connotative markers fixed by the phraseographic sources in the composition of phraseme. Study of the characteristics of mental deviations from the norm as an indicator of ill mental health seems to be prospective.
