The emergence of phrasal verbs and their functioning in modern economic discourse

Abstract

The article discusses the main issues related to the history of phrasal verbs. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of phrasal verbs used in economic discourse from the point of view of their communicative function and the peculiarities of their interpretation for a foreign-language audience. The article provides examples of the use of phrasal verbs in economic discourse, using the example of various journals devoted to economics. In the process of analyzing phrasal verbs, the author makes it clear that because of their characteristic expressiveness, emotional coloring and informativeness, phrasal verbs began to be used in various fields of scientific and professional discourse. The novelty of this study is due to the wide spread of phrasal verbs both in oral and written speech, which necessitates their deeper study for effective use in the course of intercultural communication. In addition, insufficient knowledge of the peculiarities of their use and functioning in English can cause errors not only for a beginner, but also for a language learner for a long time. Phrasal verbs can make it difficult or distort the understanding of the meaning not only of a single sentence, but also of the text as a whole when foreigners perceive English.
