English phraseology in language and speech. Chinenova L.A.

The proposed publication is devoted to the study of the processes of creating and developing complex multi -element unity - phrases, analytical forms and phraseological units. The author focuses not on the formal aspects of the structure and semantics of English phraseological material, but on its functional characteristics. The issues of the real existence of the lexical and phraseological complexes of various types: the actual idiom, stable phraseological combinations, combinations of the verb and the prepositional dialect are not considered at all, but in relation to the functional style and sociocultural communication situation.
