Russian Biblical Phraseological Units with the Component “God” in the Aspect of Chinese Linguistic Tradition

Abstract

Orthodox Christian norms, their important role in traditional and modern Russian linguistic culture are reflected in phraseological units containing the lexeme "God (Divine)". These units are of a great interest in the aspect of other linguistic tradition, especially if the latter is very different from Russian, e.g. Chinese. Russian phraseological units with the lexeme "God (Divine)" can be translated into Chinese with the help of Chinese words or phraseological units with the component Tian ("Sky").
