Abstract

Toponymic phraseological units (TPUs) are expressions that incorporate geographical names (toponyms) and convey meanings that go beyond the literal reference to the place. These units are an essential aspect of language, reflecting cultural, historical, and social significance. This paper explores the typology and classification of TPUs, categorizing them based on structure, semantic function, and cultural context. Simple and complex TPUs, idiomatic expressions, metaphors, euphemisms, proverbs, and stereotypes are discussed to demonstrate the richness of toponyms in language. The study emphasizes the importance of toponyms in shaping communication, identity, and collective memory. By examining these units, we gain a deeper understanding of how geographical names influence linguistic creativity and cultural expression.
