Description
Summary:The article examines the concept of BAUUR (Liver) in the Karachay-Balkarian linguistic picture of the world. This concept covers a fairly wide range of metaphorical images, including at the level of phraseology. The subject of the study was the anthropomorphic metaphorical features that make up the figurative content of the BAUUR concept, and the means of their linguistic verbalization. When studying this concept, researchers identified some of its universal features, which contribute to the ethnic uniqueness in the worldview. It was also revealed that phraseological units with the BAUUR component in the Karachay-Balkar language are widely used to express various emotional and expressive meanings. In the Karachay-Balkar language, as in many Turkic languages, the liver is one of the spiritual and mental centers of a person. The liver can correlate with the soul and heart, and in some cases, people can use it to express various expressions, such as the meaning of breast “kyokurek”. As a result of the analysis, the main types of metaphorical features included in the figurative content of this concept were identified.
