Summary: The relevance of the study is due to the intensification of the studies on proverb semantics from cog-
nitive and linguacultural perspectives. The study was aimed at identifying and describing proverbs with nomological
semantics and their ethnocultural content in the Karelian language. The research material included the latest collection
of Karelian proverbs Karjalazet sananpolvet da sananpiät = Karjalaiset šananlaškut ta šananpolvet (2019) compiled
by V. G. Makarov. The study was conducted using methods of cognitive-semantic differentiation of proverbs according
to the criterion of “attitude to reality” and linguacultural analysis. The study found that 4.5% of proverbs in the Karelian
language have nomological semantics (express empirical laws of nature and society directly or indirectly). According to the categorical-objective focus in reflecting the surrounding reality, nomological proverbs can be classified into anthropic, natural, and combinatorial ones. Nomological proverbs with anthropic content prevail in the Karelian language. At the same time, a relatively small number of nomological proverbs reflecting mainly natural codes of culture are ethnoculturally marked, which indicates the nature-centric focus of that part of the Karelian proverbial picture of the world that represents the laws of reality. |
