LEXICO-SEMANTIC CLASSIFICATION OF PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS OF METONYMIC NATURE IN ENGLISH, RUSSIAN AND TATAR LANGUAGES
This paper is devoted to the study of lexico-semantic aspects of metonymic paremia in three languages: English, Russian and Tatar. Paremiology as a branch of philology dates back to the 19th century. It studies proverbs and sayings that attract attention of both folklorists and linguists, who use different research methods: literary and linguistic. As part of the culture of this nation, paremias have always remained and will remain relevant. Proverbs and sayings of metonymic nature are the least studied part of the modern paremiological foundation. The relevance of this work is bound to the growing interest to Oriental and European languages and intercultural communication, because paremiological units contain specific knowledge about the people speaking the language, their culture, history, etc.
