FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF KOREAN AND UZBEK PROVERBS

Proverbs are not only the most significant, but also the most characteristic part of the folklore heritage of any people. Traits of folk history and character, work and life are imprinted or metaphorically encrypted in them with the same reliability, ancient life on a fossil with the difference that they remain alive for centuries, as long as the people who created them live, and their language, which made them a part of itself. Proverbs, which are part of the paremiological fund of the language, are a valuable linguistic heritage of the people, reflecting their customs, traditions and history, and other specific features of the people. Proverbs, like any other genre of folklore, reflect everything that a particular people lives with and encounters over the centuries. Here is a full set of ethnographic realities, from tools to outfits, and a comprehensive description of the geographical environment with its landscapes, climate, animals and flora; here are memories of long-past events and outstanding personalities, echoes of ancient religious views and a detailed picture of the modern organization of society.
