STRUCTURAL AND GRAMMATICAL FEATURES OF STABLE VERB COMBINATIONS OF RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article analyzes structural and grammatical features of stable verb combinations of the Russian and English languages. Characteristic of the semantic features of each component separately, based on the analysis of the meaning of the whole, as well as the determination of the semantic specific weight, if possible, of each component in the formation of a stable combination will help to identify and outline certain categories of lexical units in the languages under study. The meaning of phraseological combinations is contradictory. Its external sound form is a combination of two words – it is a speech form, at the same time its semantic meaning is individualized, as well as the meaning of a single word. In Russian and English, there is a large group of stable verb combinations, the lexical and semantic cohesion of the components of which is minimal. The analysis of the structural and grammatical features of such formations, the phraseological connectedness of the forming words makes it possible to distinguish them in the language system into the category of stable combinations. They either have some idiomaticity and are used figuratively, or, and this is more significant, the words that make up them are usually phraseologically related and are always used together. One of the sources of replenishment and enrichment of the compared languages with figurative expressions are individual expressions previously used in the narrow sphere of activity of individual groups of people. They get into the national language already in a reinterpreted form.
