  INTRODUCTION
  
  In the modern linguistics the problems of the study of expressive means of the language are of great importance. Expressive means are the markers of culture which fix its history and transmit its values from generation to generation [1, с. 35]. One of such language means is phraseological layer, a part of which is idiomatic stock of lexis.
  The topicality of the analyzed problem is stipulated by the necessity of the complex study of different aspects of idiomatics in the context of stylistic features of the language on the basis of comparative analysis of idiomatic stock of the English and French languages.
  The aim of this study is to analyze the role of idioms of English or French in the stylistics of text in comparison of phraseological fusions of English and French on the material of newspaper articles.
  This aim can be achieved by the continuous resolving of a row of tasks, such as:
  - to represent the main approaches to functional and stylistic classification of idioms;
  - to examine the complex of mechanisms and types of phraseological reconsideration in the process of idiom formation;
  - to make a comparative analysis of the use of idioms as stylistic means of reflecting the category of expressivity in the texts of newspaper articles (on the materials of English and French newspapers).
  The object of the present research is the process of formation and development of phraseological stock of the language.

  CHAPTER 1 THEORETICAL BASES OF THE STUDY OF LINGUISTIC PECULIARITIES OF IDIOMATIC STOCK OF THE LANGUAGE
  1.1. The Notion of Idiom. Functional and Stylistic Bases of Idioms Classification
  Phraseology is a fragment of linguistic world view. Phraseological units are always directed towards the subject, i.e. they appear not only to depict the world but also to interpret, evaluate and express subjective attitude towards the world. This fact differentiates phraseological units and metaphors from other nominative units of the language.
  Phraseological units reflect the long process of culture development in their semantics, fix and transmit cultural values, stereotypes and archetypes from generation to generation. According to F.I. Buslaev, phraseological units are kind of micro-worlds which contain moral law and common sense in a short structure as a precept and manual of our ancestors [6, с. 98].
  Every phraseological unit is a text, i.e. the preserver of cultural information. Phraseological component of a language not only reproduces the elements and features of cultural and national world outlook but also forms them.
  The inner form of a phraseological unit is defined as “…diachronic link of phraseological meaning of the construction and its etymological meanings” [15, с. 42]. Without any doubt, that an inner form of a phraseological unit is also an element of content in the synchronic aspect of semantics.
  We think that the expanded definition of the inner form of a phraseological unit given by V.P. Teliya is very valid. This researcher states that “the inner form of idioms is an associative and figurative, motivating complex that organizes the content in the language” [30, с. 14].
