Лексемы простір/przestrzeń и місце/miejsce в украинских и польских фразеологических единицах

This paper is the analysis of the phraseological units with temporal and spatial components and their place in the Ukrainian and Polish languages. The word 'space' is only the component of several phraseological units in the Ukrainian language. In the Polish language, there is only one such unit. In the phraseology of those languages the 'space' is tightly interwoven with the 'place' – in the reality, society and human emotions. It is expressed through several dozens of phraseological units with the word 'place'. The ability to classify the phraseologisms with the 'place' component to distinct semantic groups gives evidence to the fact that this component is enacting the typical semes as the element of the phraseological unit.
