Abstract
The article considers phraseological units as linguistic and cultural phenomena that
reflect the system of national values, worldview, and cultural traditions of a people. A
comparative analysis of phraseological units demonstrating the connection between
language and culture is conducted, and the peculiarities of their functioning in the context
of the national worldview are identified. Particular attention is paid to the ways of
expressing mentality, historical experience, and ethnocultural stereotypes encoded in
phraseological units.
