The Component “Seven” in Slavic Phraseology and Paremical Units Units with a numeral component are clearly noticeable in phraseo-paremical resources. This is particularly the case of richly represented multiword combinations with the lexeme “seven”. The comparative analysis presented in this article considers the phrases and paremias of Slavic languages with the component “seven”. They manifest a conceptualising numerical dimension in indications of quantity and intensity by reference to the value of seven units of something, and also by variance or opposition within numerical indices with the central segment “seven”. Komponent „siedem” w słowiańskiej frazeologii i paremice W zasobach frazeologiczno-paremicznych wyraźnie zauważalne są jednostki z komponentem liczebnikowym, w szczególności bogato reprezentowane są związki z leksemem „siedem”. W przeprowadzonym badaniu porównawczym analizie poddano frazeologizmy i paremie języków słowiańskich ze składnikiem „siedem”. Ukazują one konceptualizacyjny wymiar liczbowy przejawiający się we wskazaniach na miarę ilości oraz intensywność poprzez odniesienie do wartości siedmiu jednostek czegoś, a także poprzez oboczność bądź przeciwstawność w obrębie odniesień liczbowych z ośrodkowym segmentem „siedem”.

This article seeks to apply a cognitive definition to describe the symbolism of numbers. First, the theoretical aspects of the ethno-linguistic research method are outlined. This part presents the main foundations of the method, in particular, a cognitive definition as a mean of reconstructing the linguistic and cultural imaginary from the anthropocentric perspective. The concept of a symbol is presented as well, as a fundamental category in deciphering the meaning of the world by traditional culture bearers. The second part of the article presents a practical application of the theory, the cognitive definition of the number seven. The pre-existing sources (data from published dictionaries and monographs), as well as data collected by the author in the course of fieldwork, are ordered using “facets”, which reflect the semantic structure of the number seven in the folk culture. The cognitive definition of the number seven consists of the following facets: “name”, “collections”, “equivalences”, “number as a measure”, “semantics of the seventh item”. The proposed definition is not yet a completed project and can be extended by other domains.
