Abstract

The article conducts a comparative analysis of the concept of "rodina" (homeland, motherland) in Russian, Azerbaijani and English (British) paremiology. Proverbs that verbalize this concept reflect the linguistic worldview and allow for identifying some features of national culture and mentality, which contributes to the development of intercultural communication. The analysis revealed similarities and differences in the perception of the Homeland of Russians, British and Azerbaijanis. The article also examines 203 proverbs that verbalize the concept of "homeland" and provides an analysis of dictionary definitions to compare the concept of "homeland" in three languages. Comparative analysis allowed for making a semantic classification of proverbs of three languages (Azerbaijani proverbs are divided into 6 groups, Russian -into 5, English – into 3 groups).
