Phraseological Units with a Component Designing a Person’s Physical and Mental Condition in Modern German Language: Ideographic Aspects

Summary/Abstract: The ideographic description of phraseological units of the language has become a focus of scientific attention in the recent years. The reason for this is that some phraseological microsystems create conditions for compiling dictionaries of ideographic type which do not yet exist. The ideographic field “Person” is fundamental in the system of ideographic dictionaries in any language because phraseology covers those areas of reality that are connected with a person, his/her vision, system of values, psychological peculiarities and physical appearance. The article deals with phraseological units with a component denoting physical and psychological condition of a person in modern German language based on lexicographical resources. In order to substantiate the classification peculiarities of the studied phraseological units, they have all been divided into thematic groups on the basis of semantic and grammatical classes as well as structural and grammatical types.
