Phraseodidactics and Culture: Investigation of Students’ Perception

Abstract

The article focuses on the relatedness of language and culture and the possibility to make oneself familiar with culture through phraseological units which have to be understood and interpreted appropriately. Language consists of a set of linguistic signs shared by members of various societies and cultures. People identify objects and events, they find or do not find behavior appropriate in certain situations, they create objects, texts and discourses that other members of the societies and cultures find meaningful or struggle for their correct understanding. The study conducted proved that phraseological units play an important role in culture cognition process and provide people with a huge amount of additional information on cultural aspects despite the proficiency of the language used.
