English Phraseological Combinations Related to Ancient Traditions and Customs, Historical Facts

The term phraseology means, on the one hand, a branch of linguistics that studies word combinations, and, on the other hand, a set of all stable compounds of a given language. The main difference between phraseological units and words is that they are intended not to name an objective reality, a particular event, but to express a modal relation to it.    Scientific researches on general linguistics and phraseology and lexicology of English language, scientific works of foreign linguists Professor IV Arnold, academician VV Vinogradov, professor AV Kunin, LP Smith and others were used in the study of English phraseology. Ways of formation of phraseological combinations were studied using the comparative-historical and  statistical methods in the coverage of the work.
