"ЛЕВ", "LION" COMPONENTS WITHIN PHRASEOLOGICAL ITEMS FROM THE ONOMASIOLOGICAL AND TRANSLATOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW
The article examines linguistic and linguo-semiotic status of ЛЕВ and LION components in various lexical items with the transferred meaning from the point of an onomasiological analysis. The initial stage of the study dealt with exploring secondary and contextually triggered meanings of the components in focus. The results of the study revealed similar and different features of the transferred semantic activity for both ЛЕВ and LION constituents as well as demonstrated new translating principles for idiomatic expressions, which share the same component.
