VARIABILITY OF THE ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THE COMPONENT GET IN THE BASIC STRUCTURAL PATTERNS

The article considers the issue of variability of phraseological units (PU) component structure including the functionally leading component get and representing, according to A. V. Kunin’s classification, two most widespread three-component structural patterns, i.e. (1) V + (d) + N + Prep + θ and (2) V + (d) + Adj + N. Despite its crucial role, this segment has not been the focus of a complex study creating a lacuna in English phraseology, therefore there is a need for structural analysis of its patterns. A number of both poliparadigmal and specific research methods, including the method of the componential and quantitative analysis and dictionary definitions, were applied in this study. As a result, both simple and complex phraseological variants in each of the two structural patterns were found. Phraseologisms of the first pattern were subjected to variability in 91% of occurrences, phraseologisms of the second pattern were subjected to variability in 81% of occurrences...
