The role of antonyms in semantic organization of the Avar paroemiological units oriented on a person

The given article describes the peculiarities of usage of usual and contextual antonyms in the Avar paroemiological units describing the inner state of a person. The significance of the discussed problem is proved by insufficient information in linguistic literature and by the fact that the characterized paroemiological units are the source of linguistic, lin-guocultural and ethnic-cultural information. The article analyses lexico-semantic, morphological-syntactical and linguo-cultural features of components of the Avar paroemiological units, which are syntactically formed by the means of antonymic contradiction of words belonging to different parts of speech; the motivate role of determinative components of the characterized proverbs is determined, some alogical situations are proved. The relatedness of analyzed Avar gender paroemiological images with different culture codes is disscused; some cultural language signs are characterized which became language symbols and form the metaphoricity of images; the peculiarities of national-cultural connotation are determined. The analyzed gender paroemiological images correlate with anthropic culture code, there are used the people names, which have positive and negative traits as well. It is significant that different culture codes and language signs, which became national symbols, are used. Zoomorphisms are especially often used which let characterize a person metaphorically. Antonyms in the described Avar gender paroemiological units can play as a factor which support and actualize comparative semantics.
