The Origin Of Phraseological Units Based On Social And Historical Events
Abstract
The accuracy and expressiveness of speech depend on the regular use of words and expressions. Like words, stable combinations that express a single meaning play a major role in enriching the vocabulary of our language. In many cases, not a single word, but a group of words that form a unity is used to express a certain meaning.
The set of all stable word combinations, indivisible expressions and phrases in the language is called phraseology. Phraseology is originally a Greek word, formed from the combination of the words phrases - expression and logos - theory, science. Phraseology studies the regular development of stable word combinations, their origin and formation, their characteristics, semantic and grammatical structure, their relationship with words and other combinations, etc.
The words that make up a phraseological unit (phraseologism) are considered its components. They are organically combined in phraseologisms in such a way that it is impossible to separate them from each other and consider each word in an independent sense. All the words that make up a phraseologism or phraseological unit express one meaning in general.
