Phraseology represents one of the most dynamic and culturally significant fields of linguistic research. The study of phraseological units through comparative analysis enables scholars to identify both universal and language-specific features of phraseological systems. In Russian linguistics, comparative analysis has been widely employed to investigate the semantic, structural, and functional characteristics of phraseological units, as well as their national and cultural specificity. The present article examines comparative analysis as a fundamental method of phraseological research and explores its theoretical foundations, methodological principles, and practical applications. Particular attention is paid to the contributions of V.V. Vinogradov, N.M. Shansky, A.V. Kunin, and V.N. Teliya, whose works have significantly influenced the development of comparative phraseology. The research analyzes phraseological units from the perspective of semantic equivalence, imagery, cultural connotations, and translation correspondences. The findings demonstrate that comparative analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic worldview, intercultural communication, and the mechanisms underlying phraseological meaning. Furthermore, the study confirms that comparative phraseological research serves as an effective tool for revealing similarities and differences between language systems while preserving the unique cultural identity reflected in phraseological expressions. The results highlight the importance of comparative methods in modern phraseological studies and their contribution to the advancement of Russian linguistic scholarship.
