Abstract

Phraseology, being a figurative means of linguistic expression of reality, is one of the most interesting and at the same times the most difficult areas in the study of foreign languages. This article discusses the basic principles of classification of phraseological units according to structural and semantic principles.  The main directions of phraseology are highlighted, the main representatives of these directions are described, and the principles of classification are highlighted, according to the principles of their direction.  Thus, the following types can be noted phraseological units or idioms, such as: merges, unities, combinations, expressions. Various ideas about phraseological units, idioms and free word combinations are considered. In this paper, the author noted an increasing number of phraseological units-neologisms; most often phrases from technology, science and sports are transformed into phraseological units.
