ВЕРБАЛІЗАЦІЯ РЕЛІГІЙНИХ КОНЦЕПТІВ В УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ПАРЕМІЯХ (на матеріалі «Галицько-руських народних приповідок»»)

The article is devoted to the analysis of the verbalization
specificity of the concept sphere RELIGION, concept TEMPLE in particular, which is presented
in «Galician-Russian folk sayings». The topicality of the analysis is motivated by the insufficient
study of I. Franko’s real input in Ukrainian paroemias investigation and absence of studies on the
verbalization of religious concepts in Ukrainian paroemias. The aim of the article is to investigate
peculiar features of verbalizing the concept TEMPLE in paroemias that comprise «Galician-Russian
folk sayings».
Apart from a completely critical verbalization of concepts PRIEST and positive concept
GOD, in paroemian world mapping the marked concept is estimated in the ambi-valanced way
with the actualization of both positive and negative senses: deferential relation to church as God’s
dwelling is typical for Ukrainians. It does not deny the possibility to use a lexeme-verbalizor church
in paroemian row with the negative and ironical connotation. The leading role belongs to I. Franko
in the adequate perception and use of this or that paroemian unit.
