Introduction. Idioms are an attractive source of investigation due to the fact that they keep the memory of historical and everyday events of a nation through centuries. There are a lot of definitions of idioms by different scholars, and the majority of these define idioms as semantically complex, compositionally permanent, morphologically and syntactically fixed. There may be exceptions to the general rule: some idioms appear to vary lexically, morphologically and syntactically. But the semantic structure of idioms is not subject to semantic variation [1]; it is not derived from the meaning of its constituents. Two types of idioms are generally identified - transparent idioms the meaning of which can be easily guessed, and opaque ones the components of which do not contribute to the idiom‘s meaning [2-3]. Words that make up idioms lose their literal meanings and all together contribute to an ultimately generalized meaning. The aim of the present research is to investigate the concepts of body parts; the object of this study is metaphorically motivated English and Turkish idioms with body part components, i.e., noun idioms which contain the following words in their structure: arm/hand, ear(s), eye(s), foot/leg, head, heart, mouth, nose, stomach, and tongue. For the purposes of the analysis and comparison of their conceptual and image-schematic base idioms were taken from the sites with English and Turkish idioms which mostly match each other in the number of idioms as a whole, and the number of idioms with body part components, in particular. English idioms were taken from http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/cat/9.html site; the total number of idioms is 3,634, including 446 idioms with body part components. Turkish idioms were taken from http://www.edebiyatfakultesi.com/deyimler_a.htm site; the total number of idioms is 2,919, and the quantity of idioms with body part components is 416. These sites were selected out of a series of other ones due to the fact that the approximate number of idioms and those with body parts are comparable in both sites. The proportion of idioms with body part components is comparably equal - 12% and 14%, correspondingly. жүктеу/скачать 3,43 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
