The meaning of the word pull the strap. Universal additional practical explanatory dictionary by I. Mostitsky What is Pull the strap, what does it mean and how to spell it correctly. Exercise “Pull Yarn”

Very often in everyday conversation you can hear such a statement as pulling the strap. Of course, it is immediately clear that if this expression is not related to any specific action, then it implies a comparative meaning. So, what does it mean to pull the strap, in its semantic concept.

The expression of this phrase itself can be either direct, indirect or figurative. Direct action should include a specific action towards a specific object. IN in this case to pull is to make a certain movement, namely: to tighten, pull, extend, pull. A strap, like an inanimate object, is a leather or other durable fabric strap thrown over the shoulder. In everyday life it is customary to say: straps of a bag, backpack or straps on clothes.

In a figurative sense, this expression is also a little similar to the direct position, in terms of action, but not to the subject, but to the object. For a deeper understanding of the meaning of the phrase “pulling the strap,” you should turn to the sources of its origin.

The strap is considered a common Russian word, meaning like a shoulder strap for carrying or pulling something. It is very often found in the dialect of different nations. But how it was brought into them, through literary language or from folk tales, is not entirely clear.

Thus, the word lyama is also found in the Ukrainian language. But most likely it leads to Polish: lama, lamwka. And most likely, it is from such words that the strap comes from. Therefore, we can consider that the strap is converted from Polish.

The meaning of the saying to pull the strap, by its origin, was used in the 18th century in a military concept.

However, the word strap in the dictionary of 1847 was associated not only with military life, but also with the life of barge haulers. The webbing was then described as: “A thick and wide strap or string, for moving guns or for pulling a ship.”

But more common, in the first half of the 19th century, was the use of literary style this statement, there was a comparison with the hardships military service. So, in Belinsky’s drama “The Fifty-Year-Old Uncle or a Strange Disease,” there is the following statement: “...After all, I’ve been dragging my feet for ten years! But he’s already a second lieutenant!”

And what does the saying “pull the strap” mean in modern expression? Nowadays, this concept is usually associated with some difficult and painful matters or burdens. Pull the strap - do exhausting, monotonous work for a long time. To pull the strap means to be in hard work or to do hard, boring, tedious and unpleasant work, as well as to perform difficult and long-term duties.

In principle, the expression “pull your shoulder” can be applied to all aspects of life. For example, in family life you can hear the following expression: “together we will pull the strap of our life” or “if you put on the strap, then pull it.” In the semantic sense, these are the joint rights and responsibilities of the spouses, which they must fulfill throughout their married life.

This phrase can also be attributed to the following concepts:

“Many pulled their weight at the same level as the common people, and this gave them great physical strength and moral toughening” - the concept of endurance and perseverance;
“So, no matter how you look at it, you’ll have to pull this strap all the way” - the concept of temporary space;
“And I will pull the strap just for the sake of appearance, and continue to get drunk at the same time” - do nothing or create the imaginary appearance of something.

Thus, the meaning of pulling the strap is found very often not only in simple folk speech, but also in literary statements. Moreover, this expression, to a greater extent, is stated in a figurative sense than in its direct designation.

PULL THE STRAP

Word strap in the meaning of “shoulder strap for traction” is all-Russian. It is found in a wide variety of folk dialects. But is it included in them in literary language or, on the contrary, has it penetrated from folk speech into literary language, - unclear.J. Kalima in his work “Die Ostseefinnischen Lehnwörter im Russischen” (Helsingfors, 1915) derives this word from the Finnish lämsä, which is very similar in meaning. He thought he was Finnish. lämsä gave first in Russian lyamts, which was then re-registered as strap, and from strap, in turn, by replacing the suffix -to her, through -ka- got the word strap(pp. 158-159). But the Ukrainian language is characterized by the word Lyama. It leads to Polish. lama, lamować `to sheathe with galloon', lamwka `paneling, border', lamiec `sweatshirt'. It was with these words that they compared strap Berneker 385 and G. A. Ilyinsky 386 . Apparently, in Russian the word strap is a borrowing from Polish. It appeared in the military dialect of the 17th century.

Expression pull the strap in the Russian literary language of the XVIII and first half of the 19th century V. was perceived as military in origin.

True, in the 1847 dictionary the word strap associated with both military life and the life of barge haulers. Strap was described as follows: “A wide and thick belt to which a rope is attached to move the guns, or a towline to pull the ship. Pulling the barge with a strap. - Pull the strap, zn. perform some difficult task. They forced the young man to pull the strap"(sl. 1847, 2, p. 278).

J. Kalima compares strap from Finnish lämsä `lasso". To justify this comparison we have to assume a morphological re-decomposition: from lämsä the word was formed strap, in parallel with which it already appeared with the suffix -ka strap. IN Ukrainian the word came from Great Russian dialects. Polish lamiec - from Belarusian, Polish. lamka - from Ukrainian 387.

The fact that barge haulers, their language and way of life found themselves in the field of view of Russian realistic literature from the middle of the 19th century, led not only to a rethinking of homonyms like pull the strap, but also to the penetration of new Burlatk expressions into all-Russian spoken language. So the word cone, among barge haulers, metaphorically meaning an advanced barge hauler, the leading person on a campaign, spreads in the dialects of urban vernacular with the meaning: “a person with great influence, a significant person.” For example, in Kuprin: “He was a big cone. He managed some estates,” in Chekhov’s story “The Orator”: “It’s so awkward bump bury without speech.” In the dictionary of D. N. Ushakov (4, p. 1348) this use of the word cone attributed to the colloquial-familiar style of literary speech. V.I. Chernyshev suggested that “this expression is obviously taken from the life of barge haulers” 388. "Indigenous cone it’s called the foremost barge hauler of the entire artel, which pulls the whip with its straps” (Zarubin, 2, p. 124, note).

Wed. in I. G. Pryzhov’s essay “He and She” from the book “Life of the Russian People”: “What will you do now? - she asked the barge haulers. “Supper or what?” - “Dinner?!” - growled cone - the main martyr who pulls the burden ahead of everyone. “The merchant’s wife is having dinner in Moscow (they took her for a merchant’s wife), but a tavern is enough for us!” (Pryzhov, p.242).

But already in the 40-50s. XIX century expression pull the strap begins to be associated in literary language with other everyday images - with pictures of the hard life of Volga barge haulers. Interest in the life of the people and their various professional and social class groups was greatly aroused by Gogol and the writers of the natural school. So, in Gogol’s “ Dead souls ah": "That's where you'll work hard, barge haulers! and together, as before they walked and raged, you will set to work and sweat, dragging the strap to one endless song, like Rus'” (vol. 1, chapter 7). In Melnikov-Pechersky’s novel “In the Woods”: “The Volga is at your side, but the Volga resident did not wear barge haulers. The last thing is to go to the barge haulers! In the Trans-Volga region they think so: “It’s more honest to feed under the window of Christ’s name than to feed under the barge hauler.” pull the strap“. And it’s true” (Part 1, Chapter 1).

Rethinking Expression pull the strap expected by the middle of the 19th century. Wed. from Koltsov in “Reflections of a Villager”:

In your eighth decade

Five years have gone too far;

How alone am I strap

I'm pulling without help!

Wed. from Turgenev in the novel “On the Eve”: “Judge for yourself: a lively, intelligent man, he became a people of his own accord, in two provinces rubbed the strap...". But the most widespread and typical literary use of this expression was in the 18th and first half of the 19th centuries. there was an idea of his connection with the hardships of the military burden. Thus, in Belinsky’s drama “The Fifty-Year-Old Uncle or a Strange Disease”: [Khvatova:] “...After all, ten years pulled the strap! But he’s already a second lieutenant!”

This understanding is usually also in the language of writers adjacent to the culture of speech of the nobility. In Turgenev’s novel “Fathers and Sons”: “His father, a military general in 1812... all his life pulled the strap, commanded first a brigade, then a division.” There, in the speech of Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov: “If I continued to serve, pull this stupid strap, I would now be adjutant general.”

From military service the same expression was transferred to civilian service. In Gogol’s rough drafts of “Dead Souls”: “ Reached out I think it's decent strap in the world! It’s true, he served in the treasury chamber and wandered around all the courts...” (Gogol 1896, 7, p. 413). From F. M. Dostoevsky in “Notes from the House of the Dead”: “He began in the Caucasus with cadets, in an infantry regiment, for a long time pulled the strap, was finally promoted to officer and sent to some fortification by a senior commander.” In N. G. Pomyalovsky’s “Essays on the Bursa” (in the essay “Grooms of the Bursa”): “Oh, poor fellows, what a strap You pulled: soldier’s, and they also frightened you with soldier’s rank!..”

PULL THE STRAP (UNAPPROVED)

do heavy, monotonous work for long periods of time. The expression goes back to the speech of barge haulers on Russian navigable rivers. The ships went down with the current, and horses or barge haulers were used to lift them up, against the current. The owner of the ship hired a team of barge haulers and they pulled the ship against the current using a rope - a towline. The rope was attached to the mast or a specially installed six. The barge haulers threw straps attached to the towline over their shoulders and walked along the shore or in shallow water near the shore, dragging ships or barges behind them. A shoulder strap is a wide belt made of leather or durable fabric that is thrown over the shoulder for traction or carrying loads.
