Verbal phraseological units’ problems in the corpus of parallel texts

Abstract

Verbal phraseological units (VPUs) are complex linguistic expressions that consist of a combination of words that function as a single unit with a specific meaning. They are often idiomatic and culturally-specific, making their translation challenging. This challenge is further compounded when translating VPUs in the corpus of parallel texts based on fictional books. In this article, we will explore the problems associated with translating VPUs in parallel texts and discuss various tools and techniques that can aid in the translation of VPUs.
