PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AS A REFLECTION OF NATIONAL CULTURE

Abstract

This article examines phraseological units as an important component of language that reflects the cultural, historical, and national characteristics of a people. Particular attention is paid to the linguistic and cultural features of phraseological expressions and their role in preserving and transmitting cultural values, traditions, and collective experience. The study analyzes the relationship between language and culture through phraseological units and demonstrates how they embody national mentality, worldview, and cultural identity. The findings confirm that phraseological units serve as valuable sources for understanding the cultural heritage and social values of a linguistic community.
