The role of non-verbal means of communication in the formation of a phraseological picture of the world

Abstract

This article deals with the problems of interaction between verbal and non-verbal means of communication through phraseological units of gesture semantics in Russian and Kazakh languages. Characteristic features of phraseological units with gesture semantics, their influence on the perception of reality and transmission of cultural and behavioral codes are analyzed. The necessity of a deeper study of the processes of integration of gestures into the language structure, as well as their role in the formation of the linguistic picture of the world and cultural identity is revealed and substantiated. On the basis of the conducted research it is determined that phraseological expressions with gesture semantics serve not only as a means of communication, but also as an important element of preserving cultural memory and identity. The following is formulated: gestures refract[1]ed through language become part of stable linguistic constructions, influencing the perception and interpreta[1]tion of reality. It is proved that phraseological units with gesture semantics reflect cognitive and cultural pro[1]cesses, helping to understand the relationship between verbal and non-verbal signs. It is revealed that the use of these units contributes to a fuller comprehension and transmission of cultural codes. In addition, such phra[1]seological units perform the function of cultural markers, allowing to establish the speaker’s belonging to a certain sociocultural environment. This article deals with the problems of interaction between verbal and non[1]verbal means of communication through phraseological expressions of gesture semantics in Russian Phraseo[1]logical expressions of gesture semantics show how gestures interpreted through language provide a more viv[1]id and capacious reflection of reality, influencing the perception and interpretation of reality. This fusion of verbal and non-verbal means helps language to serve as a bridge between the two worlds, creating a stable model for understanding external signs and symbols. The comparative analysis of Russian and Kazakh lan[1]guages reveals both universal features and specific features of the functioning of phraseological expressions with gesture semantics, which indicates a deep interrelation between language and national mentality. Thus, the study emphasizes the significance of gestures as components of the semiotic system of language and high[1]lights the need for further intercultural analysis within the framework of modern linguistics and cultural stud[1]ies. Special attention is paid to the pragmatic aspects of the use of such units in live speech, where they en[1]hance the expressiveness and emotionality of the utterance, contribute to a more accurate transmission of the speaker’s intentions. In addition, such phraseological units reflect the historical and cultural experience of the people, their values, norms and stereotypes of behavior, thus performing not only communicative but also cognitive function.
