PHRASEOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF APHORISTICS

Abstract

The article deals with the development of the theory of aphoristics in the dynamics in relation to the development of the theory of phraseology. Russian writers' aphorisms of the XXth century recorded in the Dictionary of Aphorisms of Russian Writers of the XVIIth – XXth century created by us and in the Phraseological Dictionary of the Modern Russian Literary Language in 2 volumes edited by A. N. Tikhonov became the material for the study. The analysis was based on phraseosemantic analysis using descriptive and analytical methods of phraseological semantics. Phraseological units state the concepts that exist in the modern language, in a concise form they reflect the conceptual essence of modern self-consciousness in society. Aphorisms, being units of a higher level, judgments, reflect both the conceptual picture of the world of an individual author of aphorisms and the conceptual picture of the world of the whole nation. Studying aphoristics in diachrony within the framework of the phraseological system of the language, it is possible to structure the linguistic and conceptual picture of the world of an ethnic group in dynamics.
