We read A. Pisemsky's “The Sputtered Sea”: “Your tongue, apparently, is pitted, if it bends on every word ...” About whom or what does the writer say so? The meaning of phraseology “language without bones” will help to understand.
Phraseological Unit
A lot has been said about phraseologisms. But we will remember once again to be thoroughly prepared for what will be discussed in the future. So, the phraseological unit is a stable integral figurative turn, the meaning of which is in no way connected with the semantics of each element included in its composition.
For example, the meaning of phraseology “language without bones” is one - excessive talkativeness, talkativeness. And it, in its turn, is in no way connected with the meaning of its tokens - “language” and “bone”.
Value
At school, students often get the task: "Explain the meaning of phraseological units." “Boneless language” is an expression that requires detailed analysis. Well, the question is interesting, and it will help us answer the phraseological dictionary of the Russian language, which contains frequently used expressions. We discover, and here is what information he offers us: the meaning of phraseology “language without bones” is both a talker, and a person who speaks too much, usually without thinking about the consequences, and an ordinary fool.
Origin
There is no information about the origin of this figurative expression . Presumably it is from a group of not borrowed, but primordially Russian expressions. The fact is that this image has developed in the people by chance. Observer is inherent in man, even despite a lack of knowledge and education. People have long paid attention to one feature of the human body - in the language there really are no bones, it is muscle. What are bones? In the understanding of a simple person, this is a kind of framework for organs, which serves as a barrier. Often, after hard, debilitating work, the bones, as a rule, are "sore and aching." Well, the conclusion suggests itself: if the tongue does not have a single bone, and no one holds it and does not slow it down, it means that it is excessively flexible, quirky and can turn in the wrong direction. Very much like a talker or talker, right?
The meaning of phraseology “language without bones” - a talker chatting incessantly - like his image himself, is also found in foreign phraseological turns. For example, in Arabic - "a pitted language, but it hurts painfully"; in Kyrgyz - “a language without bones, where you direct, it turns there”; in Karelian - “language without bones does not get tired” and others. This is evidence that the creator is the people themselves, and he came to us from ancient times.
