"At one time the man most likely to develop excessive effort where it is not necessary, said “he was going to Tula samovar with her ... " The French with their usual light humor express this idea with the words "light a torch to see the sun." But perhaps the more spectacular of all Indonesians say about this, "Grebe downstream, and you will laugh over the crocodiles." Incidentally, note that at the equator laugh crocodiles, while in our latitudes do chickens "(Petrov, Boreyko, 2010: 21).
Association of literary origin occur on the basis of specific literary works (and some nonfiction).
Phraseological units of folk origin (silly Billy; Jack-in-the-green; Jack's alive, and so on) clearly occupy an intermediate position between these two varieties of the national identities of association, because, as the result of poetic creativity, they appear sustainable artistic symbols images of the national popular-poetic tradition.]
The study of this component, we can conclude that, on the one hand, the basic values in the systems of different languages are universal, which is explained by the laws of logic common to all mankind, universal systems of thought and knowledge and the implementation of identical thoughts, but on the other hand, we conclude that there is a specific linguistic world views of the real world.
In the third chapter we set the sources of the appearance of phraseological units with proper names in English.
[An important and interesting enough direction in the study of ethnic and cultural component of phraseology is the allocation of funding sources and the study of phraseological units. SI Abakumov, for example, distinguishes two groups of the origins of phraseological units: native and foreign. By the age-old sources, he considers it people of different professions, titles, or images of literary works, folk art, biblical myths, historical facts and legends, scientific terminology, the foreign-literally translated expressions (tracing) and the expressions which are used without translation (Abakumov, 1936: 62-64).
