Abstract

 This article examines the linguistic distinctions and interrelationships among idioms, collocations, metaphors, and phraseological units in English. Drawing on contemporary phraseological and cognitive linguistic theories, it analyzes their semantic, structural, and functional characteristics. The study also discusses pedagogical implications for higher education, emphasizing the role of phraseological competence in developing fluency, pragmatic awareness, and culturally appropriate language use.
