SYNTAGMATIC FEATURES OF NOMINATIVE AND COMMUNICATIVE CLICHÉS.

This article examines clichés as fixed speech units from the 
perspective of syntagmatic analysis. Clichés are described as ready-made speech 
formulas that facilitate communication while also conveying semantic, social, and 
situational information. The author distinguishes between two main types of 
clichés nominative and communicative and analyzes their structural and functional 
characteristics. Nominative clichés perform a naming function and operate in a 
sentence as a single nominative component while preserving their internal 
structural stability. Communicative clichés, in contrast, function as ready-made 
speech formulas capable of expressing a complete speech act and serving as 
independent syntactic units. The paper also discusses the relationship between 
syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations in language, drawing on Ferdinand de 
Saussure’s ideas.
