Abstract:
The 21st century research deals with the idiomatic expressions and the meaning they convey in terms of telling a lot of interesting stories about the nations, however a comparative analysis of the somatic idiomatic expressions that contain the names of clothing has not been carried out so far. When talking about the comparative analysis, we would like to underline that the target languages in the context of the above mentioned are Georgian, English and Russian languages.
The authors of the presented article analyze the concrete somatic idiomatic expressions with the main focus on the identification of the cultural value they bear as well as the meanings on the level of the linguistics and the potential of the equivalency in translation with the aim to identify the full, partial adequacy among the languages as well as attempt to find the most effective way to translate the concrete idiomatic expression that tends to be unique for one specific language only due to its very much culture bound nature.
Keywords: somatic idiomatic expressions, linguistic aspect, translation, adequacy, Georgian, English, Russian languages
