The value aspect of idioms (On the material of the English, German, Russian and Chechen languages)
The article deals with the analysis of semantics of the English, German, Russian and Chechen idioms representing such life values as trust, consent and success in the globalization conditions. In different languages some similarities are found in cognitive models of idioms’ meanings, conceptualization of trust, consent, and success. The trust concept in different images is presented as belief and attempt to convince of sincerity and truthfulness. Gaining trust is usually followed by application of means and efforts. An important component of consent is a common language, and connection creation. The success is associated with a way or moving forward. In image components of idioms it is also expressed in the spatial metaphor "consent - close", "success - passing a long way". The corpus approach has revealed distinctions in the actual meaning of quasi-equivalent idioms, the semantic properties and additional meanings which are not fixed in dictionaries. The national and cultural specificity are imprinted in the component structure of some English, German and Chechen idioms, accentuating the perception of trust and consent values in these cultures. The contexts also reflect the connotation of some idioms, influence of the inner form on meaning, relevance of values in the process of integration, communication and development.
