Anthropocentric zoomorphic metaphors in the Belarusian and Polish languages

Abstracts

EN

The article analyzes anthropocentric zoomorphic metaphors in the Belarusian and Polish languages. In two languages, animal names are used to characterize various qualities of a person: their appearance, character, behavior, place and role in society. Such metaphors not only denote a person, but also give them a positive or negative evaluation. And more often zoomorphic metaphors are used for negative characterization of a person. Based on the analysis of the dictionary entries of the explanatory dictionaries of the Belarusian and Polish languages, cases of complete and partial similarity of semantics of metaphors are considered. Metaphors are distinguished, the meanings of which do not coincide completely, and metaphors that exist only in one of the languages. The author believes that the discrepancy in the semantics of zoomorphic metaphors in the Belarusian and Polish languages is due to the ancient concepts of the Slavs about animals.
