Phraseologisms with proper names In the english language (etymology and context)

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the functioning of the proper names (anthroponyms, toponyms,
mythonyms) in the phraseological units of the English language. The semantics of phraseological units
with the proper name component comprises cultural connotative meaning that is essential and most
clearly dominating. Teaching phraseological units enhances the development of linguistic and extralinguistic skills of students. Students should learn phraseologisms in the original context backed up by
historical and cultural comments that reveal the origin and etymology. In the paper examples of the use
of idioms are derived from the texts of British National Corpus and online translator Reverso Context.
