Abstract

The article presents the materials of the semantic analysis of two-component substantive terms-phraseological units extracted from the modern business English dictionary by Michael Murphy. The research methodology includes the phraseological concept of Alexander V. Kunin and the method of phraseological identification proposed by the scientist. The novelty lies in the object of the study and its results, revealing the percentage of complete (27.9 %) and partial (71.8 %) semantic transference of the component composition of the studied phraseological units, as well as their paradigmatic activity, that is, participation in variant (1,7 %) and antonymic (4,7 %) relationships and in the presence of polysemy (3,8 %).
