THE ALLEGORICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HOSPITALITY IN KALMYK, RUSSIAN AND BRITISH PAROEMIA
Discusses the allegorical expression of the communicative event ‘hospitality’ in Kalmyk, Russian and British paroemia. Hospitality is devoted to the basic values in the compared lingvocultures and has different symbols in Kalmyk, Russian and British evaluative worldview. The understanding of the allegorical characteristics of the communicative situation “hospitality” stresses out its general and specific features, its norms and regulations in the communicative consciousness. Hospitality is known as the act of generously providing care and kindness to whoever is in need. The analysis of Kalmyk and Russian paroemia points out that the phenomenon of hospitality in both languages is more associated with etiquette and entertainment. In British the concept of hospitality is valued in terms of protection. A host who granted a person's request for refuge was expected not only to provide food and shelter to his or her guest, but to make sure they did not come to harm while under their care.
