A sore spot. What does the phraseologism "sore spot" mean? Sore spot meaning of phraseological unit in one word

All kinds of encyclopedias and dictionaries, as well as Wikipedia give different definitions. The simplest meaning of "Phraseologism" is given in the Encyclopedic Dictionary.

"Phraseologism is a stable turn of speech, a phrase, an expression, the meaning of which does not consist of the concepts of its constituent words."

In one of the most common languages on the planet - Russian, there are a lot of such examples of Phraseologisms. If you add expressions that have been borrowed from foreign languages, you might think that all we do is talk with the help of Phraseologisms.

"Throw down the glove"

"Hit but listen"

"Beat the key"

"Down the sleeves"

"Leave with a nose"

Phraseologism is the root of a concept, a basis, a key phrase, a complete turn of speech, a complete thought.

The word "Phrase" was borrowed from the Greek language "phrasis", which translates into Russian as "expression".

The concept of "Phrase" served as the name of the science of language - phraseology, a part of linguistics.

The term "Phraseology" consists of two ancient Greek words "phrasis" - "expression" and "logos" - "concept". This is a science that studies steady turns of speech.

Phraseologism can be divided into several types:

Phraseological expressions

Phraseological unity

Phraseological combinations

Phraseological adhesions (idioms)

Phraseological expressions, are a special turn of speech, which all consist of words with a free meaning. Their feature is their use as ready-made speech turns.

An example Phraseological expressions can serve as aphorisms: " knowledge is power", proverbs:" when the cancer on the mountain whistles", "where a horse with a hoof, there is a cancer with a claw", as well as common stamps used in everyday colloquial speech:" good day", "see you soon", "best wishes".

Phraseological unity, are a turn of speech in which each term has its own special meaning, but connected they acquire a figurative meaning.

"Cast a fishing rod"

"Get online"

"To go with the flow"

Phraseological combinations are a turn of speech, in which words have a non-free (used only in a specific phrase) or free meaning. Combinations differ from unity and splices, so that the words included in the expression can be replaced.

"Thirst for fame"

"Revenge"

"Lust for money"

"Burn with hatred"

"Burn with love"

"Burn with shame"

A phrase can be not only a complete sentence, thought, but also a turn of speech, a musical excerpt, but in singing it can be a musical figure that can be sung without taking a breath.

Phraseological adhesions or, as they are also called, idioms are an unchangeable and untranslatable expression characteristic only of a given language. The term idiom was borrowed from the Greek language "idioma" and is translated as "a kind of phrase".

"Neither fish nor fowl"

"Seven Spans in the Forehead"

"Don't sew the tail to the mare"

The phrase they call a beautiful, bright, loud speech that is not sincere, hypocritical, and does not correspond to the content.

Fraser is a narcissistic person who utters meaningless, beautiful speeches. A synonym for the term "Fraser" can be the word windbag, chatterbox.

Phraseology, Phraseology- this is an addiction to meaningless, loud, beautiful speech, in fact, idle talk.

An example of phraseology in literature

In the play "The Cherry Orchard" by Chekhov, one can draw attention to the monologue of a certain Gayev, who is addressed by him to the closet: " Dear, dear wardrobe, I greet your existence, which for more than a hundred years has been directed exclusively towards the ideals of justice and goodness, your silent appeal, which made us work fruitfully, has not weakened for a long hundred years, supporting, despite sorrow, faith in a better future, cheerfulness and bringing up we have social consciousness and ideals of good".

Such a bad habit: they do not know how to accept their own mistakes and are used to blaming others for their troubles. In this regard, there was even a saying “to dump from a sore head to a healthy one”. We will analyze the meaning of the phraseological unit.

Story

Some argue that the meaning of the phraseological unit "from a sore head to a healthy one" must be sought in the Bible. There was a time when people felt almost like gods. They could do everything and could do anything. They had enough knowledge to build a tower that went into the sky. And they christened her Babylonian. But the builders wondered too much, they exalted themselves too much, so the Lord decided to teach them a lesson and destroyed the tower. Despite all their wisdom, people began to swear. They did not believe that the supreme forces had spoiled their plans. It seemed to them that a mistake had crept into the calculations, so the builders blamed each other and often blamed each other from a sore head, onto a healthy one. To stop these gossip, the Lord divided the languages, and people did not have the opportunity to swear, because they simply did not understand each other.

There is another version of the origin of the phraseological unit. In Russia, diseases were treated not only by doctors, but also by psychics, fortune-tellers and healers. They collected medicines, recited prayers and performed rituals. But the healing process, even with taking pills, is not always fast, and the patients of those times wanted to be cured in literally 2-3 days. And if this did not happen, they accused their "doctors" of quackery. The witch doctors had no choice but to justify themselves with a proverb so that the sick person would not fall from a sick head onto a healthy one.

Meaning

Today, this popular saying can be found often. The meaning of the phraseologism “to blame for a sore head on a healthy one” is shifting one's problems onto another person. And moreover, not always problems. Often people, trying to justify themselves, can blame others for their mistakes and blunders. This is practiced with incredible frequency today. One has only to go to any office.

Delegation of tasks today is taught already in the first year of any faculty in which managers are engaged. But along with all the good things that shift work brings, this moment also has a negative trait. It is not clear who is to be considered responsible. And here again the saying "to blame from a sore head to a healthy one" becomes relevant. The meaning of the phraseological unit is obvious: shifting responsibility and punishment for failure to complete tasks.

In literature

Russian classics quite often use phraseological units in their works. This is understandable, because other elements of folklore make speech more lively and natural.

We have analyzed the meaning of the phraseological unit “to blame it on a healthy one”, and now let's see examples of its use.

Pisarev in his work "Realists" wrote: "But to blame from a sick head to a healthy one is still not good. Turgenev and Bazarov ... are not to blame for the fact that the critic does not know how to defend the younger generation."

Or you can take a quote from the book “All Year Round” by Saltykov-Shchedrin: “I judged it, and I felt ashamed.

How to use

Today practically everyone knows the meaning of the phraseologism "from a sore head to a healthy one". And why do some manifestations of folklore die while others flourish? The fact is that the phrase "to dump from a sore head to a healthy one" is relevant today more than ever. People do not like to take responsibility, and at the first opportunity they shift it. Who is most often involved in this business? Small employees, clerks, bank employees. But sometimes this happens even in large companies.

If there is a bad director in the organization, then even he can blame his subordinates for all his troubles and misfortunes. But if the leader is normal, then this will not happen. Well, what's the point of shifting the blame onto someone else, if your own conscience tells you that you and no one else are to blame.

How to learn to accept responsibility

In order to achieve a lot in life, you cannot blame yourself from a sore head to a healthy one. This activity is not appropriate for a strong personality. A person should be able to honestly admit his mistakes and try to correct them. How do you learn to do this? You need to start small. First you need to understand that other people are not to blame for all sins. The rain doesn’t spite you, and the wind didn’t come up to ruin your hair. When you begin to accept all life phenomena, without blaming anyone for them, it is much easier to accept your own mistakes. Well, wrong, it happens to everyone. You need to look for a way to work on your mistakes, and not look for shoulders on which you can shift this mission. After all, here, as in school, mistakes must be corrected by the one who made them.

Teaching a person to take responsibility is best done in childhood. It is at a young age, when the character and outlook on life are being formed, that the mother must explain to the child that one cannot blame the cat for a broken vase, but one must openly admit one's mistake. And let the punishment follow, but then the whole day will not torment remorse.
