This study investigates the lexical-semantic characteristics of English phraseological units (PUs) through a corpus-based analysis focusing on semantic transparency and frequency. Utilizing the British National Corpus, a diverse set of 200 PUs was extracted and subjected to a two-pronged analytical approach. Semantic transparency was assessed using a five-point graded scale, evaluating the extent to which the meaning of a PU can be inferred from its constituent words. Our findings reveal a complex interplay between transparency and frequency, indicating that while many highly transparent PUs exhibit high frequency, a significant number ofopaque idioms also demonstrate considerable usage.
