This article investigates the semantic and structural features of English phraseological units (PUs) that incorporate proper nouns within proverbs. By analyzing a selection of proverbs, the study aims to uncover the functions of proper nouns in these idiomatic expressions and their contributions to the overall meaning. The research highlights the interplay between semantics and structure, revealing how proper nouns enhance the imagery, cultural context, and communicative effectiveness of proverbs. The findings underscore the significance of phraseological units as linguistic tools for conveying wisdom and cultural values.
