Summary/Abstract: The multi-verbal characteristic traditionally considered the basic quality of a phrasal unit has lost its importance as phraseologists speak now of one-word phrasal units. The expressive and figurative character are not typical for all phrasal units. The collocating nature is a dominant feature of phrasal units. This fixed nature is expressed in the phrasal units in the form of anomalies. Anomalies mean diviations in the regular paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations of words. Economic collocations function as general phrasal units but are characterized by these anomalies.
