PHRASEOLOGICAL EXPRESSIONS WITH ROOT WORD ‘BLOOD‘ IN BULGARIAN AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

Teodora Georgieva Ilieva

 

Abstract: The concept of ‘blood’ is polysemantic. It is a fundamental concept in the linguistic and cultural spectrum of the Slavic and Balkan peoples and a motivator for the emergence of various stable word combinations. The article discusses real (full) phrasems and non-real (non-full) phraseological units with root component ‘blood’ (which forms 29 microsemantic cores), excerpted from Bulgarian Language, Russian Language and the official Language of Republic of North Macedonia phraseological dictionaries and media texts. A comparison is made between the phrases in the two languages, highlighting the common Slavic uses and differences, the specific expressions (direct, metaphorical and metonymic use of ‘blood’), which are the linguistic picture of each ethnic phenotype. Phraseologisms are analysed and categorized on several grounds: degree of desemantization of the constituent components – phraseological combinations, phraseological units, phraseological adhesions (fusions); grammatical structure (bi-element: V + S, A + N, Pr + S; three-element: V + A + S, V + P + S, S + pr + S, V + Adv + S; poly-element: V + pr + S + Pron, V + S + pr + S, V + S + pr + Pron, etc.); stylistic field of use.

Keywords: the concept of blood, set expressions, three types of phraseological expressions (= phrasemes), phraseological structure, Slavic linguistic parallels and ethno-specificities
