SEMANTIC AND LINGUOCULTURAL STUDY OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ENGLISH)

Abstract

This article introduces a linguacultural and semantic analysis of English phraseological units, aiming to explore how idioms and fixed expressions encode cultural meanings, national worldview, and collective memory. The study illustrates how linguistic forms reflect cultural patterns and impact interpretation by looking at idioms associated with daily life, social norms and historical allusions. The study emphasizes how semantics and cultural symbolism interact, showing that phraseological units serve as both linguistic constructions and cultural codes that influence communication. The results support research in intercultural communication, semantics, and linguacultural.
