Phraseology, encompassing collocations, idioms, and formulaic sequences,
constitutes a fundamental aspect of language structure and usage. This article explores the
cognitive processes involved in the processing and storage of phraseological knowledge in
the human mind. By investigating these processes, the study aims to uncover their
implications for language learning and use, providing insights into how learners acquire and
utilize phraseological units to enhance communicative competence.
