Color vocabulary in Spanish and Georgian phraseological units and their linguocultural aspects

Abstract

All languages reflect the theoretical, practical and cultural knowledge of man and his culture, which man acquires in the process of conceptualizing of the world. Linguoculturology draws special attention because it studies the relationship between language and culture. The reflection of the world (its objective reality) in human consciousness is represented by the connection between conceptual and linguistic worldviews. Color is a universal category, although in each language community it carries and maintains its special specificity. The basic vocabulary of colors can vary between cultures and languages. The main colors in the language create a worldview in the form of colors, in turn, they represent the linguistic image of the world. Phraseological units containing colors are an important phenomenon for the Spanish culture, which is also reflected in the language and gives it a special nuance and peculiarity. In the present report, we present a linguocultural analysis of those phraseological units that include the semantic elements of color in both Spanish phraseological and Georgian phraseological units.
