Abstract
This article examines corpus-based approaches to the study of phraseology in contemporary English, emphasizing their role in analyzing the actual usage, frequency, and contextual behavior of phraseological units. Corpus linguistics provides a data-driven methodology to identify and classify phraseological expressions, shedding light on their semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic properties.
