Morphosyntactic Models and Phraseological Constructions with Phytonyms and Their Pragmatic-Stylistic Stratification

Аннотация

This article explores the relationship between morphosyntactic models and phraseological constructions involving phytonyms (fixed expressions) and examines their pragmatic and stylistic stratification. It analyzes how these linguistic units’ function across different stylistic layers—formal, informal, and artistic— highlighting their structural features and communicative roles. By classifying phraseological units within various morphosyntactic frameworks, the study demonstrates their significance in enriching language expression and enhancing effective communication. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the structural and functional diversity of phraseological units, emphasizing their importance in both theoretical linguistics and practical language use.
