KEY CONCEPTS OF THE PAREMIOLOGICAL FUND IN THE ENGLISH AND THE FRENCH LANGUAGES
Different nations assume nationally specific ways of world perception due to natural, social, cultural, ethno-psychological factors. People who speak different languages have different ways of world conceptualizing, categorizing, structuring (space, time, properties, relations). Cultural and linguistic characteristics of paremiological units reflect the national identity in world perception, as well as norms, stereotypes and behaviors. These characteristics can be measured by means of concepts, in which the cultural level is accumulated by any individual and implemented not only in the word, but also in the phrase, paremiae, idioms. Pragmatically oriented concepts are at the core of the worldview, function as multi-dimensional denotative units built around a valuable component. The lingvocultural concept is different from other units used in linguistics in its mental nature. Linguistic and cultural center of the concept is always a value. The study of the concept contributes to culture, and the principle of values is placed at the heart of the culture. Lingvocultural concepts can be classified on various grounds.
