The variant of the phraseological unit as a feature of its identity (on the verbal phraseology with the component - alienation verb)

The problem of variability is considered to be one of the most urgent problems in the field of phraseology as variability is a constant means of development of phraseological stock of the language. The paper is targeted at the study of variability in English verbal phraseological units (PU) having the component give. The choice of the object for the research is explained by the fact that the verb 'to give' appears to be one of the most frequent verbs of kinetic semantics in modern English, which has become a center of more than three hundred phraseological units. Selection of language material for research was carried out on the basis of the two phraseological dictionaries: Bolshoy Anglo-Russkiy Fraseologicheskiy Slovar edited by A.V. Kunin and the explanatory dictionary of modern English idioms Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English edited by Anthony P. Cowie. The research is based on the phraseological conception suggested by A.V. Kunin. The method of analysis we appeal to is the method of phraseological identification. A number of accompanying methods of structural and semantic PU analysis are also used in the paper, namely: the method of phraseological analysis, the method of phraseological description, the method of quantitative analysis, etc. By means of the structural and semantic PU analysis we find out a set of lexical variants (verbal nominal and prepositional ones), lexical-morphological variants, quantitative and lexical-quantitative variants, syntactic, lexical-syntactic and syntactic-quantitative variants of the phraseological units under study. The research seems to be perspective from the typological point of view, in the sense that variability is one of the basic features of the language which is considered to be a universal and which may be taken into consideration in the typological passport of the phraseology of a concrete language.
