Abstract
This research article presents a comparative study of the semantic sphere related to the “Moon,” a significant thematic element within the paremiology, terminology, and onomastics of the Russian and Azerbaijani languages. The examination of cosmonyms, which constitute a distinctive stratum in the lexicon of these languages and are intertwined with the worldviews and mythological narratives of their respective peoples, offers a comprehensive perspective on the historical, cultural, and psychological aspects of both the Russian and Azerbaijani societies. The idiosyncrasies and ethnic-psychological characteristics of these two populations come to the fore within the microspheres of cosmonyms, with the “Moon” cosmonym serving as an illustrative point of convergence.
