LACUNARISM IN NUMBERIC PHRASEOLOGY WITH A RELIGIOUS COMPONENT (IN RUSSIAN AND CHINESE)

Ding Lina

This article examines the problem of lacunarity in numeric phraseological units with a religious component in Russian and Chinese linguistics. The aim of the study is to establish the inter-linguistic peculiarities of the expression of knowledge about the world and its interpretation by means of non-equivalent phraseology with numerical components in Russian and Chinese. It seems that in both languages there is a large number of numeral phraseological units that are not identical in semantics and image, including with numerical components thirty, seven and six.
