Phraseological units as a means of language objectification of luck concept in Russian and Polish languages

Petrova E. V.

This article deals with the analysis of phraseological units, which form the basis of language objectification of the concepts of luck and powodzenie in Russian and Polish cultures. Phraseological units contain figurative rather than direct meaning in their semantics. They reflect axiologically significant values for this or that linguocultural community. We consider the linguistic picture of the world as "a speculative construction, used by its creators to solve any theoretical or practical problems. It is a kind of tool. As applied to linguistics the picture of the world in any case should represent this or that way issued systematization of the plan of the contents of language" [4, p. 4]. One of the elements of the mosaic of the cultural image of the Russian and Polish ethnic groups is the concept of luck, consisting of the concepts luck and powodzenie.

Keywords:phraseology, semantics, axiological value, cultural image, semantic core.
