Linguistic and cultural specific features of zoomorphemes

Abstract

Zoomorphic culture codes revealing the system of symbols and standards of a national culture are able to bring about specific characters of world perception inherent to language and culture camers. The existence of such codes is universal. However, while maintaining universal features, these codes still have unique national peculiarities.
What we are interested in is the nation-related specificity of choice of expressive means - a human in ani-morphologic language units containing a typical, image-bearing, easily interpreted behavioural sign purporting to animals.
