CORPUS-BASED STUDY OF IDIOMS WITH ANTHROPONYM COMPONENT

. Language plays a crucial role in the development of both an individual and an entire nation. Idioms reflect all the national and cultural specificity of the language, store the system of values, traditions, history and geography of a community united by one culture. The close connection between idioms and culture, history, traditions and literature of the people speaking a particular language is obvious. This connection is most clearly evident in idioms with the onym component. A significant part of idioms of this type has become an integral part of the vocabulary of the English language. For this reason, this layer of vocabulary has always been the object of increased attention from linguists. The purpose of the article is to perform a semantic analysis of the anthroponymic idioms selected for the study, as well as to consider their use and scope in modern English through the prism of the corpus. The paper is based on the method of corpus linguistic research. The corpus of idioms with the anthroponym component selected through a continuous sampling from the English-Ukrainian dictionary has been analyzed in terms of their semantics, which allowed identifying a number of semantic groups of idioms with the anthroponym component. We should note that the boundaries between the groups are somewhat vague since many anthroponymic phrases, due to their dual semantics, may belong to two groups or subgroups simultaneously, which presents specific difficulties in the distribution of the actual linguistic material. The analysis shows that idioms with anthropocentric semantics denote a person in all his/her hypostases, comprehensively characterizing an individual, and describing the appearance, character, behavior, and social status. the types of contexts in which their occurrence is prevalent and specify their distribution across the genres.
