COMPARATIVE SEMANTICS IN FRENCH PAROEMIAS

This article presents a system analysis of paroemias with comparative semantics of the French language. The structure of paroemias is studied both from the perspective of their linguistic specificity, and in view of interpretive semantics. The comparative space of French paroemia is represented by comparative constructions and, to a greater extent, by conjunctionless clauses of identity, suggesting an analytical nature of the syntactic structure of French paroemias. Various types of comparative constructions inside of French paroemias are not only compositional, but also semantic elements of proverbs. Various logical relations which lie not only in comparison or juxtaposition but also in opposition within the framework of negative comparison are realized in them. The linguopragmatic aspect of paroemias is that allotopic (incoherent), at first glance, proverbs act as isotopic sequences after actualization of common afferent features, which are, as a rule, socially codified. French paroemias with comparative semantics are characterized by full figurativeness, based either on the metaphorization of one or more components, or on contiguity carrying. Thus, the components of the studied paroemias appear in a proper meaning and need to be decoded, since they often establish the identity between two incompatible ideas
