Abstract: The study of fixed expressions, i.e. polylexical units familiar to users of a given language opposed to novel word combinations, has been developed intensively over the recent decades, with many analyses offering new insights into reproducibility 1 .The language items in questions have been investigated from various perspectives, including, inter alia, the linguocultural approach, phraseostylistic research, lexicographic studies or the psycholinguistic framework (Granger, Meunier 2008; Skandera 2007; Albano, Miller 2020) 2 .What should be emphasised is the fact that the broadly understood word phraseology serves as an umbrella term used for describing a plethora of institutionalised multiword combinations 3 .These polylexical items differ in their nature: idioms, conversational phrases and proverbs tend to be figurative, while most collocations carry literal meanings.The common denominator is their familiarity to language users who store them in their mental lexicon.
