THE PRAGMATIC ASPECTS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH ARTICLES

Abstract

Annotation: This study explores the pragmatic aspects of phraseological units in English articles, focusing on their role in shaping meaning, influencing interpretation, and reflecting cultural and contextual nuances. Phraseological units, such as idioms, collocations, and fixed expressions, are integral to effective communication in written discourse, especially in journalistic writing. By examining how these expressions function in articles, the study highlights their importance in guiding reader interpretation, establishing tone, and enhancing the clarity and emotional appeal of the content. The pragmatic analysis also delves into how these units reflect broader cultural, historical, and social contexts, adding layers of meaning and intertextual references to the articles in which they appear. Additionally, the paper discusses the dynamic nature of phraseological units, which evolve over time and adapt to changing linguistic and social trends, particularly in the digital age. Ultimately, the study underscores the significance of phraseological units as a linguistic tool for conveying complex ideas succinctly, creating persuasive narratives, and shaping the relationship between the writer and the reader.
