Ellis, a famous Professor of Psychology and a Research Scientist at the English Language Institute of the University of Michigan, has stated that phraseology is ‘the periphery and the heart of language’. This indisputable statement makes us believe in the necessity of studying thoroughly one of the most important branches of lexicology. The report is clearly structured and consists of five chapters: some of them are supposed to fortify the cumulative knowledge about phraseology and provide with new material based on salient examples; others - to raise reader’s awareness about the issues of phraseology one can collide with and describe three main approaches to the classification and study of phraseological units. 1. PHRASEOLOGY Phraseology is a branch of linguistics which studies different types of set expressions, which like words name various objects and phenomena. They exist in the language as ready-made units [Бабич, 2008]. WHAT IS A WORD-GROUP? Words put together to form lexical units make phrases or word-groups. It will be recalled that lexicology deals with words, word-forming morphemes and word-groups. We assume that the word is the basic lexical unit. Word-groups like words may be analysed from the point of view of their motivation. Semantically all word-groups may be classified into motivated and non-motivated. They are described as lexically motivated if the combined lexical meaning of the groups is deducible from the meaning of their components. The nominal groups, e.g. red flower, heavy weight and the verbal group, e.g. take lessons, are from this point of view motivated, whereas structurally identical word-groups red tape - ‘official bureaucratic methods’, heavy father - ‘serious or solemn part in a theatrical play’, and take place - ‘occur’ are lexically non-motivated. In these groups the constituents do not possess the denotational meaning found in the same words outside these groups [Гинзбург, 1979]. The meaning cannot be deduced from the meanings of the constituent parts; the metaphor, on which the shift of meaning was based, has lost its clarity and is obscure [Антрушина, Афанасьева, Морозова, 2000].
