Structural-semantic and ethnocultural features of karachay-balkarian paremic statements with the zoo component it “dog”

The article examines Karachay-Balkarian paremic utterances with a zoonymic component “dog”, as well as their structural, semantic, and ethnocultural characteristics. According to the paper, such syntactic constructions are diverse because dogs are important in traditional society. For the same reason, they are variable, with structural variation determined by the interchangeability of the sentence’s constituents, represented by names, verbs, and phrases. This has a significant impact on their paradigmatics, as affirmative and negative constructions are more commonly represented. The Karachay-Balkarian paremic fund is dominated by proverbial structures modeled after simple sentences. Proverbs that resemble complex sentences, as well as polynomial paremic statements, have found their niche. All of them are ethno- and linguoculturally marked, representing a relevant segment of the global national picture.
