The classification system of phraseological units suggested by Professor A.V. Koonin
The classification system of phraseological units suggested by Professor A.V. Koonin is the latest outstanding achievement in the Russian theory of phraseology. The classification is based on the combined structural-semantic principle and it also considers the quotient of stability of phraseological units.
Phraseological units are subdivided into the following four classes according to their function in communication determined by their structural-semantic characteristics.
1) Nominative phraseological units are represented by word-groups, including the ones with one meaningful word, and coordinative phrases of the type wear and tear (износ), well and good.
The first class also includes word-groups with a predicative structure, such as as the crow flies (напрямик, кратчайшим путём) and predicative phrases of the type see how the land lies (понимать положение вещей).
2) Nominative-communicative phraseological units include word-groups of the type to break the ice (нарушить молчание)– the ice is broken.
3) Phraseological units which are neither nominative nor communicative include interjectional word-groups.
4) Communicative phraseological units are represented by proverbs and sayings.
These four classes are divided into sub-groups according to the type of structure of the phraseological unit.
The classification system is based on truly scientific and modern criteria.
