PERSON DENOMINATIONS BASED ON KINSHIP IN RUSSIAN PROVERBS: A LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL ASPECT

The article is devoted to the linguoculturological analysis of person denominations based on kinship in Russian proverbs and sayings. The author considers the paremiologically fund as a representation of the collective experience and national mentality of the Russian people. The paper investigates the axiological (evaluative) potential of kinship terms ("mother", "father", "brother", "mother-in-law", etc.) and their transformation from genealogical units into socio-ethical symbols. Special attention is paid to the analysis of family hierarchies and the identification of typical evaluative stereotypes embedded in the language. The results of the study allow for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of social assessment of human behavior through the prism of traditional family values reflected in the Russian linguistic picture of the world.
