LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECTS OF CHINESE PHRASEOLOGY
The issues related to such a controversial branch of linguistics as linguo-culturology. The impact of various factors on the occurrence of certain phraseology, which clearly reflect the mentality of the Chinese people (the author shares the concept of “mental” and “mentality”) is analyzed. The various kinds of Chinese phraseological units and examples are given. The problem of translation and interpretation of the meaning of phraseology is considered. This is due primarily to the fact that people from other cultures sometimes don’t understand the meaning of idiom, as some metaphors may not have counterparts in other cultures.
