The concept peace in english and armenian linguculture

Հատված

The Anglo-French term Pes itself comes from the Latin pax, meaning “peace, compact, agreement, treaty of peace, tranquility, absence of hostility, harmony.” The English word came into use in various personal greetings from c.1300 as a translation of the Hebrew word shalom, which, according to Jewish theology, comes from a Hebrew verb meaning ‘to be complete, whole’. Understanding of peace in the English language community can also pertain to an individual’s introspective sense or concept of her/himself, as in being “at peace” in one’s own mind, as found in European references from c.1200. The early English term is also used in the sense of “quiet”, reflecting calm, serene, and meditative approaches to family or group relationships that avoid quarreling and seek tranquility — an absence of disturbance or agitation. Pax Britannica (Latin for “British Peace”, modelled after Pax Romana) was the period of relative peace between the Great Powers during which the British Empire became the global hegemonic power and adopted the role of a “global policeman” In the English linguaculture, the concept peace is combined with the concept freedom that is not peculiar to the Armenian language. Of interest are phrases consisting of and conjunctions, the second components of which include several significant manifestations, such as: Peace and quiet-freedom from physical or mental disturbance caused by others or by one (freedom from physical or mental stress) Peace and plenty — freedom from foreign wars or internal disturbance, lawlessness, etc together with prosperous or comfortable, conditions of life War and peace wrestle with one another throughout the pages of human history. If war is broadly defined as armed conflict between two conflicting factions, states, or tribes, then one would have to say that war has always been a part of human experience and is perhaps even a defining characteristic of human beings.
