Введение:

Phraseology and phraseological units are an integral part of any lexical system. They are specified by their stable structure, their components are mainly cannot be interchanged. These are mainly set phrases, speech formulas with their specific semantics that is always the same, despite the context. In terms of stylistics, these are figurative, expressive and emotional. Furthermore, these are applied to a specific culture, as these demonstrate the national picture of the world in terms of specific language traditions, etc.
Free word groups are specified by their unstable structure and components, as well as their semantics and stylistics. The point is that the features of free word groups are directly related with the particular contexts and case of application. These strongly depend on the particular sentences and texts, as well as their communicative features.
The topic of the paper is relevant as it considers the features of phraseological units in the lexical system of English compared to the role and peculiarities of free word groups. The key point is that these vary by their components, stylistics, semantics and other specific features.
The objective of the paper is to determine the differences between English phraseological units and free word groups in terms of semantics, syntax, stylistics, etc.
Tasks of the paper are as follows:
1. Describe the distinctive features of phraseological units;
2. Reveal the grammatical and stylistic features of free word-groups;
3. Compare phraseological units and free word-groups from the point of view of lexicology.
The structure of the paper is determined by the purpose and tasks: the text consists of introduction, three parts, conclusion and references.
 

Заключение:

Phraseology considers the structural, semantic and stylistic features of phraseological units, their role in language, literature and culture as a whole. In the research literature, there is a variety of methods used for the consideration of phraseological units, which is based on various aspects and concepts. Classifications of phraseological units imply the use of various criteria, which indicates a systematic approach to the study of phraseological units and their role in the language system. Phraseological units are distinguished by reproducibility, stability of the component composition, idiomatic nature, stylistic expressiveness, as well as links with the culture of the particular nation.
Free word groups are characterized by the fact that their component composition is not stable, their meaning is formed from the totality of the meanings of the components, and in the sentence structure its components perform various functions. In the lexical system of the language, an unlimited number of word groups can be created, the only restrictions on their creation are the grammatical norms of the language and the language usage, which is responsible for the compatibility of words.
Phraseological units and free word groups have both similarities and differences, while there are more factors that distinguish these elements of the lexical system. So, they are identical in their form, but at the same time they differ significantly in their semantics, syntax, style, component composition and other factors.

PART 1. PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH LEXICAL SYSTEM

Phraseology is a specific branch of linguistics the aim of which is the analysis of phraseological units, their categorial features, semantics, stylistics, components, functions in a language, etc. [1]. Phraseology dwells on the specific features of phraseological units that are characterized by their holistic structure and the high potential for reproducing in speech and written texts. These cannot be distorted in terms of form and structure [15].
It is customary to single out a narrow and a wide subject of studying phraseology. The “narrow” interpretation implies the consideration of the lexicographic features of phraseological units in explanatory dictionaries along with other lexical units, while, the development of fixed word combinations in terms of centuries-long development has led to an understanding of the scope of phraseology in a "broad" sense [1].
Phraseological units are the integral part of the language at any moment of its development, at any historical stage. So, these are the reflection of the historical experience of the nation, their perception of the world around, as well as the reflection of the specific spiritual and material culture [3].
Since any language is quite stable in its composition and is able to convey the experience of past generations, phraseological units are the bright mirror of the values and views of predecessors, these allow to transmit to the current generations the experience from the past [17]. In fact, phraseological units create the way to perceive the world around and to assess it as well as they separate one language from another in terms of culture. Phraseology also reflects the national character in terms of nature, life, customs, history and culture – these are presented in phraseological units and are then determined by them. Thus, phraseological units are a vivid way of depicting the national culture of native speakers of a particular language [18].
According to V.V. Vinogradov, phraseological units should be considered as fixed combinations of words within a particular language. Such combinations
