Abstract:
The article examines the interrelations of national value coordinates of the Abkhaz ethnos and Abkhaz linguoculture using phraseological units as an example, and reveals the connection between the national worldview of the Abkhazians and the historical stages of their struggle for survival and self-preservation. The phenomenality, depth and monumentality of the Abkhaz philosophical thought underlying the phraseological units under consideration give them a moral and philosophical subtext. As a result of the spiritual self-improvement of the people, the interaction of different generations and constellations of folk thinkers, as the fruit of collective reason, Abkhaz postulates bear the stamp of a difficult search for truth, to which the sages arrived by recognizing reality from illusions, separating the wheat from the chaff. As specific examples, the article examines phraseological units based on spatio-temporal concepts, and astrological principles of perception of stars and planets. Also taken into account are possible intersections and consonances of the Abkhaz culture with ancient Chinese, ancient Indian, ancient Eastern and ancient Caucasian civilizations.
