PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF DIFFERENT CLASSES AND THEIR FUNCTIONING IN SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC TYPES OF DISCOURSE (ILLUSTRATED BY THE RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES)
Abstract
The article describes functioning of phraseological units of the Russian and English languages in scientific and artistic discourses. Scientific and artistic types of discourse manifest almost diametrically opposed features. The research shows that stylistically neutral phraseological units and praseologisms-euphemisms prevail in scientific discourse. Emotional phraseologisms occur, but seldom. In general, occurrence of phraseological units in scientific discourse is not as frequent as in artistic one. To the contrary, artistic discourse, as opposed to scientific discourse, employs units of different classes, mostly with marked connotation which is more often pejorative, rather than ameliorative. In the course of the research some universal and specific characteristics in the functioning of phraseological units of Russian and English in scientific and artistic discourse have been singled out. The analysis of usage of phraseological units of the Russian and the English languages in similar types of discourse is the basis for the comparison of phraseological units, identification of meaningful patterns and peculiarities of usage.
