Abstract

Paremiological segment of the linguistic picture of the world is a constituent of the naïve picture of the world that reflects the most archaic layers of the mentality of a nation as well as stages of the historical development of an individual. Paremiae generalize a nation’s experience gained from its social practice and contain statements of didactic character. The contrastive analysis of Yakut and German paremiae with the concept “wisdom” in terms of culture and cognitive activity of man is a promising field of the modern linguistics. Paremiae are classified into fully figurative, partly figurative, and non-figurative in terms of semantic reinterpretation of their components, further subdivided into those with a positive or negative assessment in their semantic structure in the languages under comparison. The contrastive analysis of paremiae revealed universal and specific features of linguistic units of indirect nomination.
