• I.THE MAIN CONCEPTS OF PHRASEOLOGY.
• 1.1 The role of Phraseology in Linguistics
• Phraseology appeared in the domain of lexicology and is undergoing the process of segregating as a separate branch of linguistics. The reason is clear – lexicology deals with words and their meanings, whereas phraseology studies such collocations of words (phraseologisms, phraseological units, idioms), where the meaning of the whole collocation is different from the simple sum of the literal meanings of the words, comprising a phraseological unit: “Dutch auction” is not an auction taking place in Netherlands. The meaning of this phraseological unit refers to any auction, where instead of rising, the prices fall.
• According to Koonin A.V., phraseological units are stable word-groups with partially or fully transferred meaning [10:344].
