Abstract
<p>In the paper we make an attempt to analyze linguistic and cultural descriptions of phraseological units of English, Russian and French reflecting the category of time. In the study of each language about 200 of phraseological units associated with the category of time were taken, which were divided into 5 groups representing different phraseo-semantic concepts. We have carried out a semantic analysis of the data of phraseological units identified by national-cultural peculiarities of expression of time category. The results can be used in the practice of teaching English, Russian and French as foreign languages, in courses on linguistics, and are also taken into account compiling dictionaries.</p>

Key words can give an idea about a particular culture This concept is used to transmit subtle shades of meaning in different languages. Wierzbicka (1992) states that every language has its own set of lexicalized concepts and offers its own categorization and interpretation of the world. The non-equivalent unit is always an indicator of the presence of some uniqueness, the national identity of the concept in the minds of the people (Nagumanova, Gainullina, & Shemshurenko 2017)
