DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

Abstract

This article explores various approaches to the classification of phraseological units, which are an essential component of any language. The study presents the most influential classification systems developed by Vinogradov, Arnold, Smirnitsky, and Koonin, highlighting their criteria such as semantic cohesion, structural composition, and functional usage. Each system reflects a unique linguistic perspective, contributing to a deeper understanding of idiomatic expressions and their role in language and communication. The paper emphasizes the importance of phraseological classifications for linguistic research, translation studies, and language teaching.
