CONNOTATIVE ELEMENT OF SEMANTIC OF GERMAN PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH NOMINATIVE COMPONENTS «FREUND» AND «FEIND»

Abstract

The article examines how the connotative meaning of German phraseological units (hereafter PU) with the nominative components «Freund» and «Feind» is generated. The analysis has revealed that PUs with positively connoted noun «Freund» prevail in the language which is fixed in the dictionaries. PUs connotation (consisting of evaluative, emotiveexpressive and stylistic-functional elements) is primarily affected by the connotative peculiarities of their lexical components. Despite the fact that nouns «Freund» and «Feind» (being the main (root) PU components) exercise major influence upon both PUs imagery and their connotative (including evaluative) potential, the lexical distribution of these nouns may change the PUs connotation with “positive” or “negative” root components as well as enhance the connotative potential of these components in PUs. Euphonic, syntactic and morphological means of creating the PUs connotation (as opposed to lexical ones) are complementary, for the most part intensifying the emotive-expressive colouring of PUs and are especially common for German proverbs. A great number of proverbs among PUs with nominative components «Freund» and «Feind» attest both to its importance in the life of an individual, and to a significant century-long human experience.
