Phraseologisms as a structural unit of the lexico-semantic system of the language. Phraseological unions, unity, combinations and expressions

Phraseology is a branch of the science of language that studies stable combinations of words. Phraseologism is a stable combination of words, or a stable expression. Used to name objects, signs, actions. It is an expression that arose once, became popular and entrenched in the speech of people. The expression is endowed with figurativeness, it can have a figurative meaning. Over time, the expression can take on a broad meaning in everyday life, partially including the original meaning or completely excluding it.

The phraseological unit as a whole has lexical meaning. The words included in the phraseological unit separately do not convey the meaning of the entire expression. Phraseologisms can be synonymous (at the end of the world, where the raven did not bring bones) and antonymous (lift up to heaven - trample into the dirt). Phraseologism in a sentence is one member of the sentence. Phraseologisms reflect a person and his activities: work (golden hands, fool around), social relations (bosom friend, put sticks in wheels), personal qualities (turn up your nose, sour mine), etc. Phraseologisms make the statement expressive, create imagery. Set expressions are used in works of art, in journalism, in everyday speech. Set expressions are otherwise called idioms. Many idioms in other languages ​​- English, Japanese, Chinese, French.

To clearly see the use of phraseological units, refer to their list on the page below or.

Phraseological unions

Exploring this concept, T. I. Vendina believes that phraseological fusions are “phraseological turns with absolute semantic solidarity of parts”. In her opinion, “the meanings of fusions are perceived as completely unmotivated, that is, they are semantically indivisible phraseological units, the integral meaning of which is not derived from the meaning of their constituent words” ( goof) .

M. I. Fomina defines phraseological fusions as “such lexically indivisible turns, the generalized holistic meaning of which is not determined by the meaning of its constituent components” .

N.F. Alefirenko sees in phraseological fusion "a semantically indecomposable phrase, the meaning of which is not derivable from the directly nominative meanings of its lexical components" ( kill the worm) .

Having considered the definitions of phraseological fusion, we can say that the scientists we have considered basically have the same understanding of the content of this type of phraseological unit. The main thing in defining the concept is that the lexemes included in the fusion do not have an independent meaning, and therefore, "for phraseological fusions, the highest degree of semantic fusion of parts is characteristic" .

B. N. Golovin writes about the same: adhesions are “such phraseological units, all the elements of which, taken separately, are understandable; however, the phraseological meaning is not “made up” of the meanings of individual words included in the fusion, and is not motivated by them, but is perceived as a single whole: white crow, lead by the nose, the ninth wave ...» .

A. A. Girutsky and E. V. Kuznetsova spoke about the same, but they did not see the difference between such concepts as “phraseological fusion” and “idiom”: “phraseological fusions are semantically inseparable stable phrases, the meanings of which are not deduced at all from the meaning of its constituent components ... adhesions are sometimes called idioms ”; "phraseological fusions (idioms in the narrow sense of the word), in which motivation is lost, is not recognized by ordinary native speakers" .

So, when defining the term “phraseological fusion”, the opinions of all scientists come down to the fact that these are such phraseological units, the meaning of which does not follow from the meanings of its constituent elements.

Phraseological units

T. I. Vendina presents phraseological units as such “phraseological turns, the integral meaning of which, to one degree or another, is metaphorically motivated by the meanings of the words included in it” (cf. bury talent in the ground ...) .

M. I. Fomina believes that “phraseological units are such lexically indivisible turns, the general meaning of which is potentially equivalent to words and can be partially motivated by the semantics of the constituent components” .

According to N. F. Alefirenko, phraseological unity is “a semantically indecomposable, integral turn, the figurative meaning of which is motivated by the figurative meanings of its lexical components” ( take water in your mouth) .

A. A. Girutsky writes: “phraseological units are semantically inseparable combinations, the integrity of which is motivated by the words that make up them: ate too much henbane, a shot sparrow, like water off a duck's back...» .

As you can see, all the definitions of phraseological units considered above do not contradict each other, but in different forms they state the same thing.

The least complete, in our opinion, are the definitions given by B. N. Golovin and E. V. Kuznetsova: “phraseological units are such phraseological units, the constituent elements of which, taken separately, are understandable and the phraseological meaning of which exists as a figurative, arising on the basis of the direct meaning of a combination of elements that form a phraseological unit: alpha and omega, henbane overeat ...» ; “phraseological units are phrases in which the internal form is well understood, motivation by the meaning of the original phrase: take by the gills, run aground» . This, it seems to us, is explained by the fact that they do not note in their definitions the fixedness of the composition of phraseological units.

So, having considered and analyzed the definitions of phraseological units given by linguists, we can say that they all note a much more increased (compared to phraseological fusion) independence of the meanings of words included in phraseological circulation. Some researchers also mention the integrity of the component composition inherent in phraseological fusions (i.e., combinations of elements in unity are not yet allowed).

Phraseological combinations

Many researchers, when defining the concept of "phraseological combination", note only the complete independence of the component composition in it.

So, for example, T. I. Vendina claims that phraseological combinations are such “phraseological turns, the meanings of which are made up of the meanings of its constituent components”.

M. I. Fomina, characterizing phraseological combinations, speaks of them as stable, non-free turns, the general meaning of which is motivated by the semantics of the constituent components [see. 24.323].

B. N. Golovin states: “phraseological combinations are such phraseological units, the constituent elements of which are understandable and jointly express the general logical content, equal or close to the content of individual words, simple or complex: to help - to help, to take part - to participate, five-year plan - five-year plan ...» .

In addition, considering the nature of phraseological combinations, N.F. Alefirenko speaks of the ability to decompose this phraseological unit: “A phraseological combination is a semantically decomposable turnover of an analytical nature, the component composition of which contains words with phraseologically related (non-free) meanings and words with direct meanings » .

In addition to the definition of N. F. Alefirenko, A. A. Girutsky also writes about the possibility of replacing one of the components of a phraseological combination with another: “phraseological combinations are the most free, in terms of the degree of semantic cohesion of the components, stable phrases in which understanding the meaning of individual words is necessary for understanding as a whole, as well as possible replacement of components: lower your gaze (look, eyes, head), takes horror (fear, longing, envy, annoyance) ...» .

E. I. Dibrova also notes that “phraseological combinations are an analytical (semantically and syntactically dissected) unit, where only one of the components has a phraseologically related meaning” .

So, when defining the term “phraseological combination”, the opinions of all scientists come down to the fact that these are such phraseological units, the meaning of which must necessarily follow from the meanings of its constituent elements. Some researchers note the semantic decomposability and instability of the component composition.

Thus, we came to the conclusion that many researchers of phraseology, firstly, define the number of types of phraseological units in different ways, and secondly, the definitions of such units in their essence, basically, do not differ from each other, however contain additions that help to better understand and comprehend their specific features.

This page contains phraseological units of various kinds, everything is described in detail and sorted out, so that everything is convenient. Otherwise, they are called phraseological turns. These are phrases that, in terms of the composition of their words, do not correspond to true words, but at the same time are solidary in meaning. Proverbs and sayings do not count :-)

As you have already noticed, sorted into groups. The most popular of them concern water, body parts (nose, tongue, etc.) and bread. And also about animals and food. So let's go.

Phraseologism

Phraseologism (phraseological turn, phraseme) - a phrase or sentence that is stable in composition and structure, lexically indivisible and integral in meaning, performing the function of a separate lexeme (vocabulary unit). Often phraseologism remains the property of only one language; the exception is the so-called phraseological tracing paper. Phraseologisms are described in special phraseological dictionaries.

Phraseologism is used as a whole that is not subject to further decomposition and usually does not allow rearrangement of its parts within itself. The semantic fusion of phraseological units can vary within a fairly wide range: from the non-derivation of the meaning of a phraseological unit from its constituent words in phraseological fusions ( idioms) to phraseological combinations with a meaning arising from the meanings that make up the combination. The transformation of a phrase into a stable phraseological unit is called lexicalization.

The concept of phraseological units (fr. unite phraseologique) as a stable phrase, the meaning of which cannot be deduced from the meanings of its constituent words, was first formulated by the Swiss linguist Charles Bally in his work Precis de stylistique, where he contrasted them with another type of phrases - phraseological groups (fr. series phraseologiques) with a variable combination of components. Later V. V. Vinogradov singled out three main types of phraseological units: phraseological fusions(idioms), phraseological units and phraseological combinations. N. M. Shansky also identifies an additional species - phraseological expressions.

Different scientists interpret the concept of phraseological unit and its properties in different ways, however, the most consistently distinguished by various scientific properties of phraseological units are

  • reproducibility
  • stability,
  • overwordiness (separately formalized).
  • belonging to the nominative inventory of the language.

Phraseological fusions (idioms)

Phraseological fusion, or idiom (from the Greek. ἴδιος “own, peculiar”) is a semantically indivisible turnover, the meaning of which is not at all deducible from the meanings of its constituent components. For example, sodom and gomorrah- "turmoil, noise."

Often the grammatical forms and meanings of idioms are not determined by the norms and realities of the modern language, that is, such fusions are lexical and grammatical archaisms. For example, idioms beat the buckets- "to mess around" (in the original meaning - "to split a log into blanks for making household wooden items") and slipshod- "carelessly" reflect the realities of the past, absent in the present (in the past, they were characterized by metaphor). In adhesions from small to large, without hesitation preserved archaic grammatical forms.

Phraseological units

Phraseological unity is a stable turnover, each of its words is used in direct and in parallel in figurative meanings. The figurative meaning is the content of phraseological unity. Phraseological unity is a trope with a metaphorical meaning For example, "go with the flow", "throw the bait", "reel the bait", fall for the bait", "get caught in the net". Phraseological units include all expressions of all the sacred scriptures of the world. Since the absolute most people perceive the direct meaning of expressions, then they do not understand the ideas of the scriptures.For example, "Pigs love to swim in the mud." This expression is a statement of an observable sensually perceived fact - the truth of science. However, as in all the scriptures of the world, this expression in its content has not a rational thought, but an irrational idea. Rational thought is based on the perception of feelings, and an irrational idea draws knowledge from the spirit. An irrational idea is a pure idea. It is cleared of information from sensory perception. Information from sensory perception is inaccessible to the ideas of phraseological units. This is what the main problem of understanding is hermeneutics.Unlike idioms, unity is motivated s realities of the modern language and can allow the insertion of other words between their parts in speech: for example, bring (oneself, him, someone) to a white heat, pour water on a mill (something or someone) and pour water on (one's own, someone else's, etc.) mill. Examples: come to a standstill, beat the key, to go with the flow, keep a stone in one's bosom, lead by the nose.

Phraseological combinations

A phraseological combination (collocation) is a stable turnover, which includes words both with a free meaning and with phraseologically related, non-free (used only in this combination). Phraseological combinations are stable turns, but their holistic meaning follows from the meanings of their individual words.

Unlike phraseological unions and unities, combinations are semantically divisible - their composition allows limited synonymous substitution or replacement of individual words, while one of the members of the phraseological combination turns out to be constant, while the others are variable: for example, in phrases burn with love, hate, shame, impatience word burn down is a constant member with a phraseologically related meaning.

As variable members of the combination, a limited range of words can be used, determined by semantic relations within the language system: for example, the phraseological combination burn with passion is a hypernym for combinations of the type burn from..., while due to the variation of the variable part, the formation of synonymous series is possible burn with shame, disgrace, disgrace, burn with jealousy, thirst for revenge.

Phraseological expressions

Phraseological expressions are phraseological phrases that are stable in their composition and use, which are not only semantically articulated, but also consist entirely of words with a free nominative meaning. Their only feature is reproducibility: they are used as ready-made speech units with a constant lexical composition and certain semantics.

Often a phraseological expression is a complete sentence with a statement, edification or conclusion. Examples of such phraseological expressions are proverbs and aphorisms. If there is no edification in the phraseological expression or there are elements of understatement, then this is a saying or a catchphrase. Another source of phraseological expressions is professional speech. Speech cliches also fall into the category of phraseological expressions - stable formulas like good luck, see you again etc.

Many linguists do not classify phraseological expressions as phraseological units, since they lack the main features of phraseological units. no suggestions for example

Melchuk's classification

  1. The language unit affected by phraseologization:
    • lexeme ( shepherd with suffix - rotten),
    • phrase ( exaggerated authority, English red herring),
    • syntactic phrase (sentences differing in prosody: You I have to read this book and You are in my house read this book).
  2. Participation of pragmatic factors in the process of phraseologization:
    • pragmatems related to the extralinguistic situation ( shelf life, English best before),
    • semantic phrases ( kick back).
  3. Component of a linguistic sign subject to phraseologization:
    • signified ( beat the buckets),
    • signifier (suppletive units in morphology: person people),
    • syntax of the sign itself He sort of laughed).
  4. Degree of phraseology:
    • full phrases (= idioms) (eng. kick the bucket),
    • semi-phrases (=collocations) (eng. land a job),
    • quasi-phrases ham and eggs).

In general, as a result of such a calculation, Melchuk singles out 3 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 54 types of phrases.

Phraseological combinations

Phraseological combinations are called such stable turns, the general meaning of which completely depends on the meaning of the constituent words. Words in a phraseological combination retain relative semantic independence, however, they are not free and show their meaning only in conjunction with a certain, closed circle of words, for example: the word is tearfully combined only with the words ask, beg. Consequently, one of the members of the phraseological combination turns out to be more stable and even constant, the other - variable. The presence of permanent and variable members in combination noticeably distinguishes them from adhesions and unities. The meaning of constant members (components) is phraseologically related. For example, in combinations, burn with shame and longing, it takes constant burns and takes, since it is these words that will turn out to be the main (core) elements in other phraseological combinations: burn - from shame, from shame, from disgrace; burn - from love; burn - from impatience, envy; takes - longing, meditation; takes - annoyance, anger; takes - fear, horror; takes - envy; beret - hunting; takes - laughter. The use of other components is impossible (cf.: “burn with joy”, “takes a smile”), this is due to the existing semantic relationships within the language system. The meanings of such words are phraseologically related in the system of these revolutions (see § 2), i.e. are implemented only with a certain range of words.

Phraseological combinations differ from phraseological unions and unities in that they are not absolutely lexically indivisible. Despite the phraseological isolation of this type of phrase, even lexically non-free components can be replaced by a synonym without prejudice to the general phraseological meaning (cf. ). This creates favorable conditions for the emergence of variants of phraseological units, and often synonyms.

The syntactic connections of words in such turns of phrase correspond to the existing norms, according to which free phrases are also created. However, unlike the latter, these connections are stable, indecomposable and always reproduced in the same form, semantically inherent in one or another phraseological unit.

Phraseological combinations are quite numerous in composition and very common in use group.
