PAREMIOLOGICAL AND PHRASEOLOGICAL MODEL OF THE FRIENDSHIP CONCEPT IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK: CORE AND PERIPHERY
Keywords:

This article analyzes the core–periphery model of the FRIENDSHIP concept based on paremiological and phraseological units in the English and Uzbek languages. The purpose of the study is to identify the stable semantic features of the friendship concept, its linguocultural characteristics, and the context-sensitive and culturally marked components. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the core of the friendship concept is represented by such semantic features as help, loyalty, trust, honesty, and closeness. The peripheral layer of the concept is enriched by models interpreting friendship as a social resource (friendship as wealth), the metaphor “a friend is a mirror”, and the boundary between “insider and outsider”. It is also shown that paremiological units more strongly reflect the normative-axiological model of the concept, whereas phraseological units reveal its pragmatic and figurative layers more vividly.
