Abstract
Phraseological units have so far been primarily analyzed from a lexical-semantic, cog- nitive-linguistic, ethnolinguistic and pragmatic point of view. Recently, they have also been studied from the perspective of Construction Grammar, which considers these units as (phra- seological) constructions. While phraseological research has indicated that phraseological units are ready-made word-groups with idiomatic meaning, the constructionist approach indicates the existence of phraseological patterns or schemes; they have a unitary meaning, at least one of their constituent element is lexically specified, they are more or less productive and they have a certain function in discourse. The results obtained from the perspective of Construction Grammar will have a special impact on the lexicographic processing of phrase- ological constructions and foreign language learning.
