Stylistically significant variation of phraseological units in English and Russian

in connection with the stylistic characteristics of phraseological units, linguists face a rather difficult question, which boils down to the phraseological norm, since normativity is one of the main signs of the literary character of the language. It is noted that in both languages, variation and norm are interrelated, since the choice of an option involves taking into account the norm, and the norm is determined by the presence of several options. Variability is an indicator of the processes occurring in a language when it is being normalized. These are mainly grammatical variants, which are functionally equivalent in most two languages, so there is a balance between them. There are various types of phraseological units in English and Russian: lexical, morphological, phonetic, syntactic, stylistic, quantitative, and others.
