ENGLISH SOMATIC COMPONENTS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE ECONOMIC MEDIA DISCOURSE

Abstract

The paper presents a review of phraseological units with a somatism component in the modern English economic media discourse. The research is aimed at studying and describing the specifics of functioning of somatisms as phrase-forming components of the English phraseological units in the economic media discourse, which will make it possible to elaborate on the elements of the analysis of the economic discourse within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm in modern linguistics. The author summarizes the Russian and foreign researchers’ experience in the field of studying the somatic components of phraseological units. The scientific novelty of the study is that it analyses and interprets information assigned to phraseological units, including somatisms, using the authentic English-language economic media discourse. The findings are of practical value, they can be used in English classes for specific purposes in economic specialties of non-linguistic universities.
