Abstract

The paper focuses on idioms of the English language as a reflection of the author’s view of the world in the writings of British postmodern writers. It is essential to be familiar with such linguistic routines of the language as idioms or phraseological units so as to be able to occasionally deviate from them if necessary. The paper aims to describe the transformations of phraseological units in some texts by Jasper Fforde. It proposes a comprehensive approach that integrates generally scientific, generally linguistic and phraseological methods and techniques of analysis.
