"LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH AND OTHER LANGUAGES"

Abstract

Abstract: The article considers phraseological units from the point of view of
cultural linguistics. It is noted that the phraseological composition of any language is
the most specific part of the culture of the nation, as it reflects lifestyles, behaviors,
traditions and customs, stereotypes and symbols of the people. The main features of
the phraseological units are described with cultural identity. Attention is paid to the
internal form of phraseological unit as the primary interpretation of reality and the
subsequent fixation of the image in the language. Some specific examples are given to
define that the study of phraseological units of a particular culture contributes to a better
understanding of the way of life of the country.
