Concept "Work" in English Phraseology
The article in question deals with the problems of national and cultural specificity of the concept “work” in British society. Stereotypes, quasi symbols and axiological characteristics related to “work” are revealed through the analysis of English phraseology. The methods being used are the ideographical parameterization and the logeme deduction. The former shows the presence of three elements in the structure of the concept: the process of work, the performer of work, and the result of work. The analysis of phraseological units allows us to single out lexical sets and logeme deduction allows us to find the specific characteristics and valuations of culturally significant meanings within them.
