“I was very interested in what is the originality of each language in stable figurative expressions. It is interesting when a phraseological unit has the same meaning, but relies on different images. This means that you can penetrate into the mystery of the imaginative thinking of the people,” — says Nadezhda Vorokova,“ I wrote my doctoral dissertation on this topic, and then I decided to turn the material into a dictionary. It will be interesting for learners of the Kabardian language through Russian or vice versa. I used the technique that the famous scientists Veronica Telia and Rudolf Yarantsev have already used. The difference between the Kabardino-Circassian phraseology and the Russian one is the phrases that are perceived by the native speakers as one word. The theory of phraseology in the Kabardian language has not been developed. And I tried to express my opinion ”, — told the Doctor of Philology to Gazeta Yuga.
