S.I. expressiveness of proverbs: brevity, rhythm, alliteration, Ozhegov characterizes a proverb as a short folk rhyme, paired use of words, parallelism. Brevity is aphorism with didactic meaning; a folk aphorism [2]. characterized as the most important stylistic law of the proverb which gives it nativeness and distinguishes it Wide use of special stylistic means promotes from the maxim which is a literary version of the proverb. expressive function of proverbs. These means are: Imagery is also inherent in the Avar paremia, although it brevity, figurativeness, rhythm, rhyme, parallelism. is not obligatory. Imaginative transfer can be both metonymic and metaphorical. The brevity is a main stylistic law of a proverb. It is The rhyme in the paremia of the Avar language is the brevity which gives to a proverb folk origin and represented by the repetition of similar combinations of differs it from a sentence, the literary variant of a sounds in the semantic centers of proverbs and sayings. proverb. For example, short, apt proverbs which in a The end rhymes are not characteristic for the Avar few words gives colourful, rich knowledge of life: language as well as for the structural organization of ХьуцI лъалъаге! [HutsI l'al'age] Don’t pour the mire!»; paremias. Absence of the end rhyme is compensated by Цеве вилъа нахъеги валагье! [Tseve vil'a nah'egi wide use of alliteration (the initial rhyme) - repetition of valahe] Go ahead and look behind!»; Кьолаго босе, the same consonant sounds in the anlaut which enhances кьабулаго лълъуте! [K'olago bose, k'abulago l'l'ute] the expressiveness of the paremias. When gives – take, when bits – run away!» and others. Keywords–Avar language, proverb, structural bases, Figurativeness refers to Avar proverbs, though it’s brevity, figurativeness, rhythm, rhyme, parallelism not necessary attribute. In the Avar language there are fully figurative, partially figurative and non-figurative I. INTRODUCTION proverbs. Figurative shift has both metonymical and metaphorical character. Figurative phraseological units Wide use of special expressive means in proverbs is refer to different kinds of metaphor. Metaphor is used not occasional. A proverb is a verbal kind of folk for denoting a certain unit of speech. V.N. Teliya poetry. This circumstance makes some linguists doubt considers that metaphor is connected with human reference of proverbs to the phraseology. From our factor: owing to it the national cultural richness which point of view a proverb must be considered both in is gathered by language group in the process of its folklore and in phraseology. A proverb refers to historical development is depicted» [3]. Figurative folklore by its origin. But taking into account the fact transfer in proverbs of the Avar language is based on that a proverb is always reproduced in the speech, but the denoting of abstract notions and human relations by is not produced in it anew, we must refer a proverb to names of lifeless things and animals. Figurative phraseology. proverbs and sayings often consist of zoosemic names, II. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS names of everyday life things, for e.g.: хIама [hIama] donkey»: ХIамие хIалтIи камуларо. [HIamie hIaltIi Structural and semantic proverbs have an especial kamularo] There is always work for donkey»; борохь place among other phraseological units. Specificity of [boroh'] snake», цер [cer] fox»: Борхьихъего proverbs and saying is in the fact that they are equal щурщулев, царахъего гаргалев. [Borh'ih"ego with a sentence and are characteristic by a reservness shchurshchulev, carah"ego gargalev] As a creeping of a form.

The overwhelming majority of them appear as same type of linguistic phenomena as well as the a result of metaphorical interpretation of free word objects of the environment for creating new images, it combinations. Phraseological units which appear as a practically not only coincides with different nations, result of metaphorical interpretation of free word but also differs with its various aspects [4]. combinations are of high emotionality owing to colorful figurativeness. A wide-spread way of creating figurativeness in proverbs and sayings in the Avar language is A number of proverbs and sayings are represented parallelism which forms proverb structures consisting in the Avar language by several variants. Variety is a of two parts: Мискинлъи рогьо гуро, бечелъи гьунар basic feature of language and of performance of all гуро. [Miskinl"i roho guro, bechel"i hunar guro] units of a language including proverbs and sayings. Poverty is not disgrace; richness is not a great deed»; The notion of variant is based on philosophical Жавгьар кисинибги тун, капек балагьуге! [Zhavhar categories of common and individual of essence and kisinibgi tun, kapek balahuge] Having a pearl in the phenomenon. Variant is that individual category which pocket doesn’t look for a pence!» etc. besides common, invariant contains different from other variants individual category [5]. Expressiveness of proverbs and sayings is strengthened by phonetic and morphological Language variety of proverbs can be represented at peculiarities and by special speech means in their different levels of language: phonetic, morphological, structure. Rhyme is one of them. Rhyming syntactical and lexical. In Avar proverbs phonetical, components, as a rule, are the main notional centers of morphological, lexical and combined variation are proverbs and sayings: УргъичIого вагъани, represented. вагъичIого хола. [Urg'ichIogo vag'ani, vag'ichIogo hola] If you fight without thinking you will die before Phonetical variation got less spreading in Avar the fight»; РагIи гIарац буго, гIин тIами месед буго. proverbs. It is explained by the nature of the literary [RagIi gIarats bugo, gIin tIami mesed bugo] «A word language, by its tendency to preserve purity of its is silver, silence is gold». phonetic system from influence of dialects [6]. Phonetic variants are caused partially by problems of The figurativeness and general meaning of the Avar spelling, for e.g. the proverb: Росолълъе унти я contents which are higher than its uniqueness, often базарганассул гьирацца бачIунеб, я collect and reflect a recognized experience, which гьардухъанассул къвачIицца бачIунеб. [Rosol'l'e unti provides the paremia with convincement and verity, ya bazarganassul giratstsa bachIuneb, ya which can’t be called just a reprimand or annoying garduh'anassul k'vachIitstsa bachIuneb] «Illness comes super-estimation» [4]. to the village through goods of salesman or through a bag of beggar» is represented also by the following While researching proverbs it is necessary to touch phonetic variant: Росулълъе унти я базарганассул the problem of phraseological synonyms which is of гьирацца бачIунеб, я гьардухъанассул къвачIицца great scientific interest nowadays. First of all it is бачIунеб. [Rosul'l'e unti ya bazarganassul hiratstsa necessary to define the notion of phraseological bachIuneb, ya harduh'anassul k'vachIitstsa bachIuneb] synonym, types of phraseological synonyms and also [7]. characteristic features which differ phraseological synonym from lexical one. Just as two different words Morphological variation in Avar proverbs is have the same or close meanings in lexicology, in represented mainly in nominative and verbal phraseology there are word combinations the meaning components. A widely spread type of morphological of which either fully coincide or show certain semantic variation is variation of verb – predicate which can be or stylistic shades, for e.g. КIал богIое те! [KIal both finite and non-finite: Нусалда бичIчIизе ясалда bogIoe te] «Keep silent» = РагIи гIарац буго, гIин абулеб. [Nusalda bichIchIize yasalda abuleb] «They тIами месед буго.

  • Languages, DNA, Relationship and Contacts
    S. A. Burlak Institute of Oriental Studies, Moscow Languages, DNA, relationship and contacts In this paper, language contacts are classified according to their results that can be observed by means of historical and comparative linguistics. Various types of bilingual contacts and of language shift are discriminated; they differ in the way they affect vocabulary, grammar and phonetics. These differences are connected with the demographic situation; thus, looking at a language that underwent contact influence, one can say what type of contact could have produced such results. Such information about prehistoric communities can help to reconcile linguistic evidence with archaeological and genetic data in order to produce a more detailed picture of the history of peoples and their languages. Keywords: language relationship, language contacts, language shift. In the beginning of the 20th century, Gustaf Kossinna (Kossinna 1911) put forward the hy- pothesis that material culture correlates with language and ethnicity, which is now known to be wrong (see e.g., Kuz’menko 2011). Ethnic identity need not fully correlate with either lan- guage or with genetic features, although there are, indeed, numerous cases of such a coinci- dence. There have been numerous attempts to reconcile linguistic data with archeological and genetical evidence (see especially Blench & Spriggs 1997, 1998, 1999a, 199b): e.g., Yu. Kuz’menko in his recent book about early Germans considers Werner’s law in Proto-Germanic as one of the traces of contacts between ancient Germans and Finno-Ugrians, corresponding to archaeologically documented contacts between Neolithic cultures of Northern Europe and the Pit-Comb Ware culture and genetically documented peoples having Indo-European hap- logroup R1a and Uralic haplogroup N (Kuz’menko 2011).

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.

  • Stress Chapter
    Word stress in the languages of the Caucasus1 Lena Borise 1. Introduction Languages of the Caucasus exhibit impressive diversity when it comes to word stress. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the stress systems in North-West Caucasian (henceforth NWC), Nakh-Dagestanian (ND), and Kartvelian languages, as well as the larger Indo-European (IE) languages of the area, Ossetic and (Eastern) Armenian. For most of these languages, stress facts have only been partially described and analyzed, which raises the question about whether the available data can be used in more theoretically-oriented studies; cf. de Lacy (2014). Instrumental studies are not numerous either. Therefore, the current chapter relies mainly on impressionistic observations, and reflects the state of the art in the study of stress in these languages: there are still more questions than answers. The hope is that the present summary of the existing research can serve as a starting point for future investigations. This chapter is structured as follows. Section 2 describes languages that have free stress placement – i.e., languages in which stress placement is not predicted by phonological or morphological factors. Section 3 describes languages with fixed stress. These categories are not mutually exclusive, however. The classification of stress systems is best thought of as a continuum, with fixed stress and free stress languages as the two extremes, and most languages falling in the space between them. Many languages with fixed stress allow for exceptions based on certain phonological and/or morphological factors, so that often no firm line can be drawn between, e.g., languages with fixed stress that contain numerous morphologically conditioned exceptions (cf.
