ENGLISH IDIOMS CONTAINING THE WORD <i>SOUL</i> AND THEIR RUSSIAN EQIVALENTS
The paper describes the comparison of English idioms with the word “soul” and their Russian equivalents. It is shown that a lot of English idioms have the same meaning and composition as their Russian analogues in spite of the national, linguistic and cultural differences. In both languages “soul” is realized as a substance associated with God, as innermost feelings and internal energy. Besides, it is identified with a human-being. But despite the similarities there are some English idioms that don't have analogues in Russian language.
