STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND METAPHORICAL IDIOMS IN ENGLISH
Keywords:
grammatical valency, phraseological units, structural analysis, macrostability.Abstract
The study of PUs reveals the intricate relationship between language, culture, and communication, enhancing our understanding of meaning across different contexts. Phraseological units (PUs) are distinct from free word groups due to their semantic complexity, stability, and structured formations. Characterized by fixed meanings and grammatical classifications, PUs often emerge from metaphor and metonymy. Their meanings can be absolute or allow for limited flexibility, reflecting cultural and linguistic diversity.
