Phraseological Units and Context

Abstract

Phraseological variants are varieties of phraseological units that are identical to each other in terms of the quality and quantity of meanings, and stylistic and syntactic functions, with a partial difference in lexical composition, word forms or the order of components. The variability of phraseological units in no way contradicts their stability since in each phenomenon there is a contradictory unity of stability and variability. Phraseological variance itself implies the stability of phraseological units since the stability of phraseological units is manifested, in particular, in their variance. A phraseological unit is a stable combination of lexemes with a completely or partially rethought meaning.
