Summary/Abstract: Comparative phraseological units represent a specific layer in language phraseology due to their structure and semantics. They have all the basic features of the phraseological unit. Based on a corpus of 729 English and 1315 Bulgarian comparative units, the study aims to establish the semantic relations within them. The material is organized in several semantic groups. The match between the two languages is established. The percentage is given of the identical, the close in meaning and the comparative units that have no correspondence in the other language. This also sheds light on some spheres of human thinking and culture.
