Sprachwissenschaft in Centrope: Elena A. Denisova (Kazan): „Speech manipulation in Russian and German prohibitive paremias“

The current development of cognitive linguistics is expanding the space of
paremiological research significantly. If previously the phenomenon of paremia was studied mainly under the prism of a formal approach, today the interest of researchers mainly focuses on the study of their pragmatic potential (O.B. Abakumova, B.I. Karadzhev, L.B. Savenkova, G.D. Sidorkova, S.I. Khun, V. Meader, A. Taylor and others)
The communicative-pragmatic potential of the paremia attracted the attention of many researchers: The analysis of paremiological units is motivated by the anthropological orientation of modern linguistics where the language is considered in close connection with the consciousness and thinking of a person, their spiritual world, values, and anti-values.
The proverbs, containing prohibitive constructions, offer a wide field for research in the direction of cognitive science. Our goal in the research was to
study axiological connotations in the argumentative part of Russian and German proverbial sayings with prohibitive semantics.
The ability to operate with paremiological statements, using them within the
framework of communicative strategies and tactics, reflects the ability of the
communicative act participants to understand the full range of pragmatic
characteristics of the text, which is of particular importance in intercultural
communication and determines the relevance of this research.
