CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS OF STUDYING PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

In linguistics, phraseological units play a very essential role in expressing words and utterances. As each language has its unique linguistic system, disciplines and speaking attitudes, phraseological units of one language might be utterly distant from other language's. In most cases, several linguists or learners find it challenging to understand characteristics of phraseological units which can vary greatly within a language or even within different dialects of the same language. This results in difficulties to know which units to study and which ones are most commonly used in a particular context. Considering problems like these, this paper aims to illustrate types of issues human beings may encounter with while studying phraseological expressions and introduces some ways to deal with this concern in order to comprehend their idiomatic nature concerning with national-cultural identities.
