Keyword: «concept sphere “wealth and success”»

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the fact that the analysis is carried out, first of all, of phraseological units with a positive connotation of the sphere of “Wealth and Success”. According to most scientific studies, everything negative is often reflected and consolidated in the language, while the positive is considered the norm. Consequently, it takes more than one generation for the positive experience of the ethnos to be reflected in the language and find its expression, in particular, in phraseological units. The purpose of this work is to identify the role and place of the cultural and historical component in the semantics of the studied phraseological units of the English language, reflecting various aspects of the speaker's positive attitude to success and wealth, and, in particular, to determine the influence of the cultural and historical worldview of the ethnic group on the conceptual content of English phraseological units. Phraseological units are analyzed on the basis of cognitive and etymological approaches. As a result of the study, the main mechanism of the formation of phraseological units of the "Wealth and Success" sphere was revealed, the source sphere and the target sphere were established.
