What is "phraseology"?
Phraseology is the study of fixed expressions and phrases within a language, focusing on how combinations of words function as units of meaning. This field examines idioms, collocations, proverbs, and other multi-word expressions, analyzing their structure, usage, and meaning. Phraseology explores how these expressions contribute to fluency and communication, as well as how they reflect cultural and contextual factors. By understanding phraseology, researchers can gain insights into the ways language is used creatively and effectively in various contexts.
