MANIFESTATION OF ANTHROPOCENTRISM IN GERMAN PAREMIOLOGY (BASED ON THE PROVERBS WITH CONTRADICTORY MEANING)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of anthropocentrism manifestation in German proverbs based on contradiction. The article considers such concepts as proverbs, contradiction, semantic field, semantic groups. The material for analysis is German proverbs with the elements of contradiction, forming a semantic field "Man" and a number of appropriate semantic groups. Having analyzed this material, we came to the conclusion that the majority of contradictory proverbs refers to the following semantic groups: "Feelings", "Reason", “Kinship” "Socio-economic status", "Health". Anthropocentrism is manifested in the fact that man becomes the object of linguistic teaching, a linguistic personality, which has many peculiar characteristics, allowing to reveal the laws of development of both language as a whole, and its speakers.
