Универсальные представления о человеке и мире в семантике соматических фразеологизмов с компонентом рус. нога, лтш. kāja, лит. koja
Universal representations about man and the world in the semantics of somatic phraseological units with a component of Russian. foot, lt. kāja, lit. koja

Summary/Abstract: Based on the comparative-typological analysis, the article considers the ideas of Russians and Balts about the person and the world imprinted in the semantics of phraseological units with the somatizm foot in the Russian, Latvian and Lithuanian languages. The results of the research show that these cultural ideas of the world and the person first cover different aspects of the person’s life (physical and emotional states, character, behavior, the relation to the world and so on) as well as the main categories of the world (space and its organization, time, movement, etc.); secondly, a considerable part of these representations is universal for Russians and Balts. The majority of these universal ideas about the person and the world are structured by a certain set of universal oppositions into which fit equivalent Russian and Baltic somatic phraseological units.
