THE CONCEPT OF PHRASEOLOGY

Abstract

Phraseological units, often referred to as fixed expressions, represent a fundamental aspect of language. These units consist of two or more words whose meaning cannot always be derived from the individual meanings of the words that constitute them. They are crucial for understanding both the structural and cultural components of a language. In this section, we will explore the definition, history, and classifications of phraseological units, as well as the theoretical perspectives that inform their study.
