COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DESCRIPTION OF FACE AND ITS PARTS IN THE RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PICTURES OF THE WORLD
Abstract
The definitions with the help of which Russian- and English-speaking people describe a human face and also its parts - eyes, nose, mouth, lips - were chosen from literary works and corpus sources. The definitions were classified, the qualitative and quantitative comparison of the obtained data for different languages and sources was carried out that allowed the authors making the conclusions about the specificity of world perception by Russian- and English-speaking people and also comparing the peculiarities of face description in literature and chats.
