metadata.value: The comparison of phraseological units of various Slavic languages is based on a unified system
  of concepts and their oppositions. Czech and Russian, Polish and Russian, Russian and
  Bulgarian, and Russian and Ukrainian idioms and paremias are studied in the article. Russian
  idioms such as белая ворона, паршивая овца and Polish biały kruk, czarna owca, Czech
  idioms obĕtní beránek and Russian жертвенный агнец, козел отпущения are examples of
  comparison. The sources of the material for the study are published bilingual dictionaries of
  phraseological units, as well as articles by linguists from different countries on this topic. Numerous
  semantic differences (connotations) were found that confirm the idiomatic character
  of each language. The equivalence of phraseological units is hindered by their polysemy and
  different semantic scope. And the content of proverbs reflects more the morality of society at a
  certain stage of its history than the linguistic image of the world. The influence of the national
  cultural background on the phraseological productivity (“phrasemogeneity”) of lexemes is demonstrated in the work. In particular, the words цървул, калпак, бъклица, трън, denoting
  the facts of rural life, are productive for Bulgarian phraseology. An attempt is made in the
  article to systematize the differential features that distinguish phraseological units of different
  languages. These are such oppositions as: “person” — “object”, “space” — “time”, “spiritual”
  — “material”, “assessment: approving/disapproving/neutral”, “external manifestation” —
  “internal state”, “scale: general — private”, and “stylistic coloring: from rough to sublime”. The
  depth and thoroughness of the semasiological analysis revise the thesis about the universal
  phraseological fund. The article discusses and develops some provisions of professor Valery
  Mokienko’s concept.
