Abstract
Description
The article characterises the place and classification of stable units of the English language. It is noted that the most important of them is the systematization of stable units themselves, their semantic system. A number of researchers consider isolation of meaning and formal isolation of parts as the main reason for the transition of a syntactic group into a compound word. They do not distinguish between a compound word and a stable word combination, and do not reveal the semantic causes of isolation. The basis for the indecomposability of word combinations lies not in the presence of a single content underlying it, but in the nature of the relations between its constituent elements, in the analysis of the dominant and dependent members of the word combination. The analysis of the review of the linguistic literature on determining the place and classification of stable units of the English language has shown that there is still no unified point of view in understanding the individual types of stable word combinations. Sometimes different types of stable word combinations are disassembled without taking into account their diversity. The issues of phraseological classification are best resolved in the studies of V.V. Vinogradov, in which he divided them into three types. They are characterised by a common linguistic system and govern the mechanism of phrase formation in the language: phraseological fusion; phraseological unities; phraseological combinations.
