Modeling of phraseological units in English-language film discourse (based on animated films)

this article is devoted to the analysis of transformations of occasional phraseological units in English film discourse. The work examines various types and methods of transformation of phraseological units (structural, semantic, structural-semantic transformations). The purpose of this study is to consider the methods of transformation of phraseological units in English-language animated film discourse. The material of the study is the scripts of English animated films "Shrek", "Madagascar", "The Lion King". The following linguistic research methods are used in the work: the method of continuous sampling, component analysis of the semantics of phraseological units and the method of contextual analysis. Based on the scripts of the English animated films "Shrek", "Madagascar", "The Lion King" the article examines the methods of their transformation using examples of occasional phraseological units, describes their methods, and determines their role in creating a comic effect. The analysis of occasional phraseological units found in the English animated films "Shrek", "Madagascar", "The Lion King" revealed a variety of methods of their transformation. The results obtained can be used in further studies of phraseological units (both usual and occasional) in various types of English-language discourse. The prospects of the study may be associated with the study of occasional phraseology of the English language in the context of translation into Russian, as well as a means of creating a comic effect in various discursive spaces.
