Abstract
The article considers the probability of recognizing the phraseological status of Old English kennings. The study intends to work out a procedure of complex description of Old English formulaic phrases (kennings), proceeding from the assumption of their phraseological status. As an example, the word-combination yða ʒewealc is subjected to analysis. The contexts are taken from eight pieces of literature in Old English manuscripts. The research may be of interest to specialists in anglistics, phraseology and history of English.
