SECONDARY INTERPRETATION AS THE BASIS OF IDIOMATICITY
Abstract
This article is devoted to the interrelationship of a language, thought, and the role of idiomatic units in it. In particular, the analysis of the idiomatic language units helps to define how they are formed as a result of secondary interpretation. However, the idiomatic units are not formed spontaneously; they are based on the secondary interpretation of the knowledge of the world. Every native speaker recognizes the world differently. The study of idiomatic units allows us to determine what feature of the subject is perceived as distinct and specific. A person compares and evaluates the situation based on the knowledge acquired by him/her after that he/she verbalizes it in speech. Thus, a combination of ways to understand, cognize, and categorize the world and the secondary interpretation of the knowledge of the world results in forming unique idiomatic units of the language respecting the culture, customs, and history of a linguistic society.
