Modeling the Image of Idioms through the Procedural Component
The present article deals with the three basic models of idioms realizing verbal semantics. The first model, the most frequent, forms an image of idioms on the basis of logical completeness of events, while the time frame in which the organization of the process is not specified. The second model forms an idea of the action describing the transition from one state to another, some quantitative and qualificative transformations of the subject. The third model forms the image of procedural idioms on the principle of gradual implementation of events: the initial action, the process of action, the result of action. Each of the mentioned models has an internal subdivision indicating particular cases of procedural phraseology. It should be noted that these three cases are not uniformed of the selected group: there are cases of mixed type models, but, nevertheless, with a pronounced dominant denoted by the author of the title group. The list of models is far from complete, which makes it possible for a more detailed study of the expression of the procedural semantics of phraseological units not only on the material of one language, but also on the material of many languages.
