In particular, the typologically relevant characteristics of the description of phraseological units in Germanic languages are identified; a comparative analysis of phraseological units of biblical origin in Russian and Georgian is provided; the national and cultural specificity of phraseological units portraying wedding traditions in several languages is determined; the category of evaluation in Russian and English proverbs with comparative semantics is considered. The presented phraseological studies in a comparative aspect are significant in theoretical and practical terms and will be of interest to specialists in the fields of phraseology, phraseography, comparative linguistics and translation.
