ABSTRACT
Phraseology, the study of fixed expressions, plays a significant role in developing linguistic and intercultural
communication competences. Understanding and using fixed expressions such as idioms and collocations is essential
to understand the meaning of a sentence or a text and to communicate effectively in a language. It also helps in
developing intercultural communication competences as different cultures have different fixed expressions. Teaching
and learning phraseology can be done through various techniques such as using authentic materials and games and
activities. Therefore, phraseology is a vital component of language learning and teaching and has significant
implications for developing effective communication skills.

has significant implications for developing linguistic
and intercultural communication competences. This
article aims to explore the role of phraseology in
developing these competences.
Understanding Phraseology
Phraseology refers to the study of fixed expressions,
also known as multi-word units, which are commonly
used in a language. These expressions can be idioms,
collocations, proverbs, or any other fixed expressions
that are used in a particular language. Phraseology is
an essential component of language as it helps in
understanding the meaning of a sentence or a text. It
also plays a crucial role in the development of
communication skills.
Phraseology and Linguistic Competences
Linguistic competence refers to the ability to use
language effectively in different contexts. Phraseology
plays a significant role in the development of linguistic
competences. Understanding fixed expressions is
essential to understand the meaning of a sentence or a
text. For example, the idiom "to kick the bucket"
means "to die," but it cannot be understood through
the literal meaning of its words. Therefore,
understanding fixed expressions is crucial to develop
linguistic competences.
Collocations are another essential aspect of
phraseology that helps in developing linguistic
competences. Collocations are words that are
commonly used together in a language. For example,
the words "heavy rain" or "hard work" are
collocations. Understanding collocations is essential to
develop linguistic competences as it helps in using the
right words in the right context.
Phraseology
and
Intercultural
Communication
Competences
Intercultural communication competence refers to the
ability to communicate effectively with people from
different cultures. Understanding phraseology is
essential to develop intercultural communication
competences. Different cultures have different fixed
expressions, and understanding them is crucial to
communicate effectively with people from different
cultures.
For example, the English language has many idioms
that are not commonly used in other languages.
Understanding
these
idioms
is
essential
to
communicate effectively with English speakers.
Similarly, different cultures have different proverbs,
and understanding them is crucial to communicate
effectively with people from different cultures.
Phraseology and Language Learning
Phraseology plays a significant role in language
learning. Understanding fixed expressions is essential
to learn a language effectively. Learning fixed

expressions helps in understanding the meaning of a
sentence or a text. It also helps in developing
communication skills and intercultural communication
competences.
There are several ways to teach phraseology in
language learning. One way is to provide learners with
a list of fixed expressions and their meanings. Another
way is to teach fixed expressions through their use in
context. This helps learners understand how fixed
expressions are used in different contexts. Teaching
fixed expressions through their use in context also
helps in developing communication skills.
Phraseology and Language Teaching
Phraseology plays a crucial role in language teaching.
Understanding fixed expressions is essential to teach a
language effectively. Teachers need to understand the
fixed expressions used in a language and how they are
used in different contexts. This helps in teaching fixed
expressions effectively to learners.
Teaching fixed expressions can be done through
various techniques. One way is to use authentic
materials such as newspapers, magazines, and films,
which contain fixed expressions commonly used in the
language.
LITERATURE AND REVIEW
The role of phraseology in developing linguistic and
intercultural communication competences has been
extensively studied in the literature. Various studies
have highlighted the importance of understanding
fixed expressions such as idioms and collocations in
language learning and communication.
One study by Pawlak and Arnaudova (2013)
investigated the role of phraseology in developing
intercultural communicative competence. The study
found that understanding fixed expressions is crucial
to communicate effectively with people from different
cultures. It also suggested that teaching fixed
expressions through their use in context and authentic
materials is an effective way to develop intercultural
communication competences.
Another study by Boers and Demecheleer (2001)
focused on the importance of collocations in language
learning. The study found that understanding
collocations is essential to develop linguistic
competences as it helps in using the right words in the
right context. The study also suggested that teaching
collocations through games and activities is a more
effective way to learn and retain them.
Furthermore, a study by Benczes and Kormos (2014)
investigated the role of idioms in developing language
proficiency. The study found that idioms play a crucial
role in developing communicative competence as they
convey cultural and social meaning. It also suggested
that teaching idioms through their cultural and social

Overall, the literature suggests that phraseology,
including fixed expressions such as idioms and
collocations, plays a significant role in developing
linguistic
and
intercultural
communication
competences. Teaching and learning phraseology
through context and authentic materials, games and
activities, and cultural and social contexts is an
effective way to develop effective communication

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The role of phraseology in developing linguistic and
intercultural
communication
competences
has
significant implications for language learning and
teaching. Understanding fixed expressions such as
idioms and collocations is essential to comprehend the
meaning of a sentence or a text and to communicate
effectively in a language. It also helps in developing
intercultural communication competences as different
cultures have different fixed expressions.
Teaching and learning phraseology through context
and authentic materials, games and activities, and
cultural and social contexts is an effective way to
develop
effective
communication
skills.
Contextualized learning of fixed expressions helps
learners understand how they are used in different
contexts, which is crucial for effective communication.
Authentic materials such as newspapers, magazines,
and films provide exposure to fixed expressions
commonly used in the language. Games and activities
make learning more engaging and memorable, while
teaching fixed expressions through cultural and social
contexts helps learners understand the cultural and
social meaning of these expressions.
In conclusion, phraseology is a vital component of
language learning and communication. It plays a crucial
role in developing linguistic and intercultural
communication competences. Teaching and learning
phraseology through context and authentic materials,
games and activities, and cultural and social contexts is
an effective way to develop effective communication
skills. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate
phraseology in language learning and teaching to
develop
effective
communication
skills
and
intercultural communication competences.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, phraseology plays a crucial role in
developing linguistic and intercultural communication
competences. As a subfield of linguistics, phraseology
focuses on the study of multi-word units in language,
which are an essential component of effective
communication. Understanding the meaning and

often cannot be translated directly and their meaning
can only be inferred from context.
Moreover, phraseology is closely linked to intercultural
communication competences, as it reflects the cultural
norms and values of a community. By learning the
common phrases and idioms used in a language,
learners can gain insight into the cultural context in
which the language is used, which is crucial for
effective communication with native speakers.
Overall, the study of phraseology can greatly enhance
learners' linguistic and intercultural communication
competences, enabling them to communicate more
effectively and accurately in cross-cultural contexts.
