Frazeologia a językowy obraz świata

PHRASEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC WORLD VIEW

This study focuses on the role and place of phraseology in the reconstruction of linguistic worldview. It is proposed that the general term linguistic worldview (Pol. językowy obraz świata, JOS) be used, in the way it is understood in the Leksykon aksjologiczny Słowian i ich sąsiadów [Axiological Lexicon of Slavs and Their Neighbours] (vols. 1–5, Lublin 2015–2019) and the Słownik stereotypów i symboli ludowych [Dictionary of Folk Stereotypes and Symbols] (vols. I–II, Lublin 1996–2019). Language embraces the formal, mental, and cultural spheres; its components are lexis and phraseology, the grammar of the sentence, the grammar of text, and discourse rules. Therefore, the use of ‘fragmentary’ terms like mental, cultural, phraseological, textual, or discourse worldview falsely suggests an autonomy of these spheres.
