Abstract

This study examines the national-cultural semantics of linguistic units through the analysis of phraseological expressions, lexical lacunae, and culture-specific realia. The research explores how these linguistic phenomena reflect and transmit cultural values, worldviews, and national characteristics across different language systems. By analyzing the interconnected nature of phraseological units, lexical gaps, and culturally-bound concepts, this paper demonstrates the complex relationship between language and culture in shaping national identity and cross-cultural communication. The findings reveal that phraseological expressions, lexical lacunae, and realia serve as repositories of cultural memory and vehicles for transmitting culturally-specific knowledge across generations.
