THE DIFFICULTIES OF DIFFERENTIATION OF APHORISM AS A SPEECH GENRE

Abstract

The article deals with the differential features of aphorisms (the presence of words-concepts in the structure, certification, reproducibility, brevity). The complexity of the linguistic and literary characterization of aphorisms still does not allow us to offer an unambiguous definition, the question of the nature of aphorisms remains debatable. Aphorism as a speech genre has its own peculiarities; it must be distinguished from the genres of literature, such as pun, fable, parable, essay, and joke. The methodological basis of the study is the functional study of aphorisms
