Phraseological Units in the Work Rabi‘u-l-Abrar

This study is of significant theoretical and practical importance not only for Arabic linguistics and literary studies, but also for further research in comparative-historical linguistics, translation studies, cognitive linguistics, and intercultural communication. In particular, it contributes to addressing the problem of accurate interpretation of phraseological units in the high-quality translation of religious and didactic texts. The article classifies the phraseological units found in the work into four semantic groups (human-related concepts, the universe, time and space, and abstract notions), systematizes them according to positive and negative semantic orientation, and reveals their lexical-grammatical structure as well as their pragmatic functions.
