PHRASEOLOGICAL CODE AS A GENERATIVE MECHANISM OF PHRASEOLOGICAL SYSTEM
The article gives a theoretical reason for the phraseological code concept. The phraseological stock occupies an intermediate position between the phrasal and the lexical levels of the language system. The phraseological units, considered as phraseological stock units, appear as natural language signs, while viewed as products of the phrasecode work, they appear as texts generated and understood on the basis of this code. Thereby, the phraseocode generates texts, which, gaining sustainability, become language signs; this code represents the generative-interpretative beginning of the phraseological stock. The phraseological units are modelled not strictly algorithmically, but heuristically and, as it is, to a different extent. The procedural component of the phraseocode contains structural-semantic models, according to which phraseological units are built. From the point of view of the information component, its composition has got not only phraseological units lexical components, but also other units belonging to different levels of the language system.
