Evaluative Component of Phraseological Units Characterizing Wedding Ceremonies in English, Russian and Tatar Languages
The aim of the study is to reveal the peculiarities of evaluative components of connotations of phraseological units expressing wedding traditions in languages under discussion. A selection of phraseological units describing the wedding ceremonies of three languages mentioned above was chosen as the material for study. The objectives of scientific research are to study the semantics of phraseological units denoting wedding traditions of the languages studied and the analysis of their evaluative component. The study was based on the comparative method and the phraseological description method of wedding traditions of described languages. As a result, it was concluded that evaluation component of phraseological units has the predominance of phraseological units with a rationally positive or neutral evaluative meaning, which does not confirm the widespread point of view of scientists about asymmetry in phraseology and a significant shift towards a negative evaluation.
