WINGED WORDS AND RELATED LANGUAGE UNITS

Abstract

Winged words have a special place in national and world culture; they represent the thoughts of famous philosophers, scientists, writers and statesmen in a polished form. Winged words are individual phrases that are used as a figurative expression in speech. They are widely used in the speech of peoples who speak different languages. Winged words have entered the language as a whole and are used as an expressive description of social, domestic, and spiritual phenomena. They are phrases that clearly and figuratively convey deep thoughts in a concise form, briefly clarify the meaning of complex situations and characters, and move from language to language. Winged words differ from other linguistic units in terms of stability, meaningfulness, specific formation, and active use, association with an event or occasion, re-perception in the mind, ownership of an author or source. The following article will discuss the difference between the existing winged words in the French language and such units as phraseological units, aphorisms, proverbs and sayings, maxims, sentences, adages, and quotations. The specific features of each unit are analyzed in detail, similarities and differences are explained with the help of examples, and concluding remarks are given.
