BIBLICAL SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND THEIR LINGUOCULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

The term "idiom" refers to a stylistic feature that is present in every language. Even though they don't have much significance on their own, they are extremely significant to both culture and spirituality. The biblical SPUs, which serve as a prime example of this intersection, bring together all three of these elements: embodied cognition, translation traditions, and cultural memory. The aim of this study is to investigate the significance of idioms in English, Russian, and Armenian from a linguistic, cultural, and stylistic standpoint, with a particular focus on their biblical roots. Semantic domains, the transmission of ideas via history and translation, and theoretical frameworks are all topics that are investigated in this study. In addition, there is an analytical section that discusses the ways in which languages are distinct from one another, examines historical, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic factors, and categorises idioms according to their subject matter. The results of a recent survey that was conducted between the years 2021 and 2025 reveal that biblical idioms continue to be widely used; nevertheless, they are undergoing change as a result of younger people's decreased comprehension and a fall in religious allegiance. However, the study demonstrates that there is a deficiency in research that is diachronic, comparative, and reception-oriented. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that biblical SPUs continue to be significant components of language that relate the body, culture, and religion.
