Phraseological Units (PU) are a significant and inseparable part of the history and culture of countries. The correct and appropriate use of phraseological units, on the one hand, is an indicator of language proficiency and, on the other hand, it is a means of expression that makes speech more beautiful, accurate, and concise. The study of phraseological units widens the vocabulary, serves as a source of knowledge about culture, and contributes to the development of communicative competence. The ability to understand and use phraseological units correctly is especially necessary for the future profesional work of a philologist, teacher, and translator. However, as a rule, this aspect is not studied in lessons due to lack of time, which reduces the quality of education.

In 2025 (when the BIP will take place in Brno at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic) we will also focus on working with language corpora and e-tools focused on phraseologisms and phrasemes of the Russian language, e.g. Smart Tool (https://smartool.github.io/smartool-rus-eng/), Russian Construction (https://constructicon.github.io/russian/), Russian National Corpus, etc.

The BIP programme is available HERE. The programme is presented in Russian language.
