THEORETICAL VIEWS ON PHRASEMES AND THEIR PLACE IN THE LANGUAGE SYSTEM

Abstract

In this article, the role of phraseological units in the language system, their sources of formation, semantic structure, and communicative functions are discussed. The relationship of phraseological expressions with national mentality, cultural values, and folk worldview is analyzed from linguisticpragmatic and linguo-cultural perspectives. In addition, the views of linguists on the nature of phraseological units are interpreted on the basis of theoretical approaches.
