Abstract

The article examines the proverbs of the Turkic peoples and their equivalents in English related to the topic of labor. The semantic characteristics of genetically unrelated units of paremiology have been relatively analyzed, and its general significance for national and languages has been studied from the point of view of linguistics and general philology. The paremias of the thematic group "labor" of unrelated languages have not yet been fully studied in the field of Turkology. We conclude that the research work carried out in this direction will contribute to the identification of common and individual national characteristics in the proverbs of the English and Turkic languages, increasing their practical and theoretical significance
