Abstract

The urgency of the problem under investigation is stipulated by the fact that the study of concepts through their linguistic explicates is currently one of the problems of the modern cognitive linguistics, which in turn, helps to reveal the very structure of the concept. A comparison of the equivalent concepts in the Tatar and English language pictures of the world allows disclosing their cultural identity. The purpose of the article is to determine the lexical-semantic features of the concept “actions, behavior” as well as identify the universal and national characteristics in representation of the analyzed concept through phraseological means of the Tatar and English languages. The science-based approach will dominate in the process of this problem investigation. We used the general scientific methods of research in the study, such as descriptive-analytical and comparative. The authors also applied the methods of component, contextual and statistical analysis. The method of idiomatic modeling is partially used in the article as well. The main results of the article. The names of the animals within the phraseological units are mainly used in figurative sense. As a rule, certain characteristics and features of people are transferred through a definite image of an animal. We have revealed universal and national features in the analyzed concepts and their representations by phraseological means of the Tatar and English languages. About 25 animal names have been involved in the Tatar and English phraseological units. The materials of this article can be useful for students, master program undergraduates, post-graduate students while learning Tatar and English. Information on "language pictures of the world" of various linguocultural communities can be applied in the methods and practice of teaching above-mentioned languages.
