PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS, PARTICULAR TO SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGISMS AS THE OBJECTS OF EMOTIVE DESCRIPTION (in French material)

Abstract

This article discusses the emotionality that permeates all aspects of function of human speech, and focuses on the psycholinguistic and psychophysiological analysis of somatic phraseology, which is one of the ways of expessing the emotive concept of language in phraseology. In particular, the strengthening of somatisms in the structure of emotional phraseological units as a localizer of various emotional states, as well as the scope of the emotional semantics of somatisms and the features of their use in expressions are described from a psychological, physiological and linguistic point of view. By studying the universal nature of somatisms in the expression of negative and positive emotional feelings in phraseology, and the cases of their association with components of noun, verb and adjective, it is analysed that negative concepts are mainly expressed by  the head and head parts (eyes, forehead, nose, ears, mouth, etc.), and positive ones by internal body parts.
