Abstract

The article analyzes the most frequent, popular phraseological units that appear in the National Media Corpus. The aim of the study is to determine the quantitative and qualitative nature of these phraseological units, paying attention to their connotative aspect and modality. As the analysis showed, all phraseological units are characterized by expressiveness, but the connotative aspects of appraisal, emotionality, and expressiveness manifest themselves in different ways. The vast majority have a connotative aspect of appraisal, but negative appraisal prevails. Moreover, it should be noted that most of the analyzed phraseological units have an objective assessment, since their use corresponds to their dictionary meaning.
