Summary/Abstract: Phraseological units can be classified as follows: collocations – binary structures, consisting in sequences of two linguistic units in an autosemantic relationship to one another –, phrases – distinct lexical and grammatical constructions behaving as single, unitary constituents in a sentence – and idioms – expressive, evocative constructions, often conveying metaphoric or ironic meanings, as well as emotional ones. Multiple phraseological units belonging to the nautical lexicon have been identified by specialised treaties and works – Maritime Dictionary and English - Romanian Maritime Dictionary – predominantly noun collocations, as well as verb and adverb phrases, but the majority of these have not been included in the general dictionaires of the Romanian language, which indicates the difficulties encountered when trying to group these specific phraseological units into phraseological families revolving around a single, central word.
