Straipsnio objektas – lietuvių paremijos, kuriose aptinkamas arklio vaizdinys. Straipsnio tikslas – atskleisti, kokios žmonių savybės lietuvių kultūroje perteikiamos pasitelkiant arklio įvaizdį. Pastebima, jog perkeltinės prasmės paremijų tekstuose arklio įvaizdis vartojamas kalbant apie vyro ir moters santykius, vestuvinius papročius, žmogaus būdo bei elgesio bruožus. Vertinamos fizinės savybės, charakterio bruožai, o emocinė žmogaus būklė reiškiama perkeltiniais arklio vaizdiniais. Taip pat atkreipiamas dėmesys į vertinimo kontekstą: kada gyvūnas pasitelkiamas pašaipai, kada pagyrimui ar paties gyvūno įvardijimui (arkliu, žirgu, kumele ir t. t.). Analizuojama medžiaga siejama su kitais tautosakos žanrais bei tradiciniam lietuvių pasaulėvaizdžiui būdingais vaizdiniais. The object of the article is Lithuanian proverbs where horse is mentioned. The aim of the research is to reveal which characteristics of a man are conveyed with an image of a horse in Lithuanian culture. Physical appearance and human character features of an emotional condition that are expressed with images of a horse are discussed. Also attention is given to the context of value: sometimes the animal is invoked for sneer, sometimes for praise. The importance of the kind of horse (horse, riding horse, mare etc.) is discussed as well. Some relation to other genres of folklore and traditional culture in general has been detected. In proverbs and short sayings, the image of a horse is portrayed in a figurative sense in description of the relationship between man and woman, also wedding customs, human character features and behaviour. It is important to note that features usually considered as positive may not necessarily be portrayed in a positive light; sometimes they are depicted with irony. Proverbs that mention horse’s attitude towards food have metaphorical meaning, as they symbolize relationship between man and woman. It is important to note that sitting on horseback may symbolize high honour and joy, or may have references to man’s age and maturity. |
