ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article deals with the phraseological units (PU) of the Mansi and Russian languages as lexical means of description of a person’s appearance within the semantic category of human stature; the reflection of people’s ideas about human stature is revealed; the universal and specific parameters of figurativeness
of metaphorical expressions in description human stature are determined; the components of semantics and figurative internal forms that create the national and cultural specificity of the PU are described.
Objective: to consider the language representation of human stature in the Mansi and Russian phraseology in the context of the linguocultural content of national pictures of the world.
Research materials: the PU of the Northern dialect of the Mansi language, metaphors and fixed expressions of Mansi literature, representing the appearance of a person within the semantic category of human stature, as well as the Russian PU, extracted from phraseological dictionaries by a continuous sample.
Results and novelty of the research: the result of the research is the identification of national and cultural originality of the PU of the Mansi and Russian languages, representing the appearance of a person within the semantic category of human stature, as well as universal and specific features of the PU of the compared
languages. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work uses linguocultural analysis of the phenomenon of “a person” in terms of phraseological representation in languages of different systems within the semantic category of human stature. The practical significance of the research is determined by the possibility of using its results in lexicographical practice in compiling of the phraseological dictionary of the Mansi language, as well as dictionaries of anthropocentric phraseology of the comparative plan.
Key words: phraseology, Mansi language, phraseological units of the Mansi language, phraseological units of the Russian language, human stature, human appearance, ethnoculture.
