Abstract:
The aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how
language, culture, and agricultural imagery intersect in the Bible.
The
aim is achieved by the following tasks set in the paper:
- to highlight theoretical trends and modern scientific approaches to
understanding the notion of "phraseological unit";
- to consider phraseological units with the component "agriculture" in
English language biblical texts;
- to analyze lexical and semantic peculiarities of phraseological units with
the component "agriculture" in the English language biblical texts; - to trace the reproduction of phraseological units with the "agriculture"
component at syntactic and phraseological levels. The practical significance of this research is to provide educators, linguists, and theologians with a clearer understanding of biblical phraseological units that can be used in the teaching of religious studies, translation studies, and linguistics. In addition, it will contribute to the development of the field of phraseology by demonstrating how agricultural concepts from ancient times continue to resonate in modern language use.
The results of the research were approbated on the International scientific conference "Ad Orbem Per Linguas", Kyiv, May 16-17, 2024.
Structurally, the paper consists of the introduction, two chapters, conclusions to
each chapter, general conclusions, resume in Ukrainian and English.
