ABSTRACT
This article is dedicated to phraseological Units with urban components expressing personality of a person and characterizing the life experiences of people.
Keywords: phraseological units, semantic structure, life experience, urban component.
The branch of the study of language concerned with the meaning of word, phrases is called semasiology. The name came from the Greek Semasia (signification). As semasiology distributes not with every kind of linguistic meaning but with lexical meaning all, it might be reported as a branch of lexicology.
We know every phraseological unit originates under some circumstances in order to describe person action make more impressible. If it is used by people in every day speech it becomes common, if not they lose its meaning, coloring. And we should note that some phraseological units are dependent on some period or some group, or some field. After some time, it also loses its meaning. And some other colorful, and impressible ones may substitute instead of old one. Some phraseological units may have originated connecting with the attitude of some people. And by the time that person passed away. This phraseological unit also begins to fade away and terminate. It is certainly expressive, when we use phraseological unit to describe one's character. Besides expressiveness it will be understandable. Describing people's personality with the help of urban components is very interesting and emphasizing. While analyzing the language we understood how they are intertwined and phraseological units containing the urban components illustrated how urban nourishes language. And, according to semantic analyses the phraseological units containing the urban components can divide into:
1. Describing a man's personalities;
2. Phraseological units characterizing the life experiences of people; Academic Research, Uzbekistan 498 www.ares.uz
