Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of occasional transformations of phraseological units with a proper name component in a literary text. The occasional transformations of substantive, adverbial, and verbal phraseological units are analyzed on the material of popular works of English writers of the 20th century (S. Sheldon, D. H. Lawrence, J. D. Salinger, and others). In the course of the semantic-stylistic analysis of the phenomena under consideration, it was revealed that occasional transformations of substantive phraseological units may affect their structure. The transformations that adverbial and verbal phraseological units undergo affect both the semantic and structural integrity of the phraseological unit. The study of occasional transformations of phraseological units was carried out in the framework of the functional and stylistic direction. In the course of the study it was found that such transformations intensify the meaning of phraseological units, clarify it, and increase the emotional and expressive content of the idiom and the context as a whole. The techniques that create occasional stylistic meaning of phraseological units are determined by their separability and semantic duality. The most common methods of creating occasional transformations in the considered material are the method of adding the lexical component in phraseological units and the method of replacing the components of phraseological units. The manifestation of the stylistic effect is based on the ability to compare transforms with usual language units. In general, the occasional transformations of phraseological units represent the rich stylistic possibilities of a more vivid characteristic of the phenomena of the objective world.
