The paper presents the author's understanding of the concept “phraseological unit”. Accordingly a distinction is made between the terms “a phrase” and a “phraseological unit”. A special attention is paid to the place of the phrase among other phraseological units such as proverbs, sayings, aphorisms, wishes and blessings. This approach relies on the fact that each of these lexical units is characterized by figurativeness, metaphorical-allegorical meaning, emotional-sensory nuances, and expressiveness to some extent.
