33.Principles of classification of phraseological units. Classification of phraseological units according to the degree of motivation.
Phraseological fusion is a semantically indivisible phraseological unit which meaning is never influenced by the meanings of its components [2; 244].
It means that phraseological fusions represent the highest stage of blending together. The meaning of components is completely absorbed by the meaning of the whole, by its expressiveness and emotional properties. Phraseological combination (collocation) is a construction or an expression in which every word has absolutely clear independent meaning while one of the components has a bound meaning [
Phraseological expression is a stable by form and usage semantically divisible construction, which components are words with free meanings Phraseological units can be classified according to the degree of motivation of their meaning. This classification was suggested by acad. V.V. Vinogradov for Russian phraseological units. He pointed out three types of phraseological units a fusions where the degree of motivation is very low, we cannot guess the meaning of the whole from the meanings of its components, they are highly idiomatic and cannot be translated word for word into other languages, e.g. on

    John Marquis On Abortion

    • 1032 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Marquis argues that killing a fetus deprives it of a valuable future/future like ours, and concludes by saying abortion is not morally permissible. I agree with Marquis’s argument that it is wrong to kill a fetus through abortion because I believe that they have a valuable future as all humans do. Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, which is most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. (dictionary.com) Furthermore I do agree with Marquis that majority of deliberate abortions are seriously immoral, however I do believe that in some cases it is permissible, for instance choosing to have an abortion after being sexually assaulted or due to life threatening circumstances.…

    Anyone who’s ever thought about living the good life has pictured the best life ever. When we picture this perfect life we see a life with endless possibilities, having enough money to just go crazy with it, going to all the parties, and just living life without a care in the world. While I sit here and think about it most of my friends believe that a life of no worries and work, a life without the worry of responsibility is the "American dream." That used to be what I thought it was but as i am growing up I have realized that there is much more to it. To me, the "American dream" is a life of happiness, a life without worrying about the financial problems that come up, and a life where you are successful at what you do.…

    The available linguistic literature on the subject cites various types and ways of forming words. Earlier books, articles and monographs on word-formation and vocabulary growth in general both in Russian language and in foreign languages, in the English language in particular, used to mention morphological, syntactic and lexico-semantic types of word-formation. At present the classifications of the types of word-formation do not, as a rule, include lexico-semantic word-building. Of interest is the classification of word-formation means based on the number of motivating bases which many scholars follow. A distinction is made between two large classes of word-building means:…
