Abstract
The study of semantic oppositions is extremely effective in determining language changes under the influence of interlinguistic and extralinguistic factors. The study of the semantic opposition «day guest / night guest» on the material of Korean paremias recreating human actions, attitudes, motives, habits, behavioral styles and interests revealed a number of features of the mutual influence of language and culture, and the interpersonal perception of people within one nation forms certain norms of morality, ethics, culture of communication, creating a socio-cultural background of their nation. The article attempts to determine the causes of particular cases of semantic oppositions, and the study of the interaction of semantic and word-formation processes retains a certain interest.

Keywords: semantic opposition, linguocultural processes, word formation processes, etymology, paremia, constant “guest”, national and cultural specifics.
