ON THE PROBLEM OF MODELING PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

Abstract

The article discusses various points of view concerning a problem of modeling in phraseology. Modeling helps to identify the deep structural and semantic core of a phraseological unit and on this basis draw conclusions about the features of its structure, semantics and functional organization. A properly constructed language model should display only those properties of objects that are basic from the researcher’s point of view, such objects are not derived directly from experimental data, but are built on the basis of hypotheses created intuitively by scientists from a set of observations. The model must be formal. The wider the scope of the model, the more effective it is. Features of structural and semantic models are determined by the structural and semantic features of various types of phraseological units. Certain mental operations of combining semes and communication represent a whole list. The phraseological model is a kind of micromechanism that creates similar combinations. Not all models of phraseological units can be modeled. Idioms are subject to modeling only in cases when the semantic structure of phraseological units is accurately realized. The very nature of semantic connections between components is determined by methods that allow penetrating the deep structure of complex semantic relationships.
