Abstract

This article explores the close relationship between phraseological units and cultural identity. It analyzes how idioms, proverbs, and other fixed expressions reflect the worldview, history, and values of a particular nation. Through comparative examples, the study shows how cultural contexts influence the meaning and usage of phraseological units in English and other languages.
