Короткий опис(реферат):
The chapter offers a multidisciplinary approach to the reconstruction of ethnic and cultural
stereotypes which has provided the insight into their cultural, symbolic and linguistic contents. To analyse idiomatic ethnic and cultural idea of the Ukrainians and English about the concept of COURAGE the reconstructed etymons have been suggested. The cultural and semantic connections of these etymons to idiomatic nominations of ethnocultural stereotypes of the Ukrainians and English have been established. Ethnocultural stereotypes are the part of national language world-view. The techniques developed in cultural semiotics, cognitive onomasiology, frame semantics and idiomatic semiotics have been involved. It has been stated that in the English language, COURAGE is stereotyped in idioms with the man component – man as a real example of human will and power. A courageous man is stereotyped in the minds of Ukrainians as an ideal example. COURAGE is the basis of the chivalry of the English that is formed in the minds of native English speakers as the uniqueness of the Nordic character trait. Ukrainians formed a chivalry-Cossack type of man, adherent to the ideal of defence, honour, will and faith, defending their native land.
