THE ROLE OF PROPER NAMES IN THE FORMATION OF ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

Abstract

The study of PhU (phraseological units), which include a proper name, shows in modern English that: a) PN (proper name) are qualitatively transformed into phraseological units along the line of its rapprochement with a common noun and its acquisition of the ability to express a general concept when distracted from  single, specific, private, as opposed to free use, in which PN has a semantic structure, which is a unity of general and single meaning and serves as an exponent of both a general and a single concept;  b) the method of rethinking the PN as part of the phraseological unit is of great importance in the phraseological formation of PN
