RUSSIAN PHRASEOLOGY ON THE BACKGROUND OF TUVAN LINGUOCULTURE
The article is devoted to the study of Russian phraseological units in the context of Tuvan linguistic culture. The method of linguocultural interpretation of linguistic units, using materials of folclore as well as modern texts from the National Corpus of the Russian language, is used to analyze the cultural connotation of phraseological units. The paper considers phraseological units which present culturally significant units, or linguoculture rhemes, denoting space (dwelling). In the course of work it has been revealed that phraseological units with linguoculture rhemes of space acquire their imagery in connection with archetypical opposition of `their own` - `alien`. Despite some cultural correlation of some linguo-culture rhemes of space (yurt - hut, hearth - stove) it was determined that they have different cultural connotations associated with the agricultural and nomadic way of life of peoples. It is important that the figurativeness of phraseologisms reflects not only the traditional ideas of peoples, their mythological imagery of world, but also the modern norms of etiquette and behaviour that may be relevant in intercultural communication.
