Abstract

The article deals with the functioning and role of idiomatic expressions in vocabulary in general as well as in individual musical works, prose, etc. We focus particularly on the postmodern culture. The English idiom «Peeping Tom» is analyzed in details. As it was noted by the author this phraseological fusion is especially often found in the works of modern (predominantly British) art and literature. The author of the article also considers the idiom in the linguocultural context referring to related phraseological units including the Russian language. «Peeping Tom» is compared with idiomatic expressions «Nosy Parker» and «Curious Barbara». The variability of the application of the above mentioned expressions and their semantic nuances are analyzed. Examples from music and literature are given, the results of the research are summarized.
