Specifics of representation of moral values in Ukrainian and English paroemias

Abstract

The article is an attempt to describe the key moral values of the paremiological fund in Ukrainian and English, using oppositional structuring of proverbs. The semantic and quantitative analysis of seven oppositional groups has been carried out: “kindness – evil”, “god – devil”, “truth – lie”, “happiness – misfortune”, “friendship – hostility”, “freedom – slavery”, “love – hate”. The common and distinctive features of their functioning have been established in both comparable paremiological funds.
