Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the functioning of the category of verbal aspect in phraseological units (idioms) in Modern Greek and Bulgarian. In contrastive terms we describe and analyze specific cases of use of aspectual forms in phraseology. Depending on the aspectual nature of the verbal component it is possible to separate groups of idioms: with regular aspectual opposition or aspectual defectiveness of the verbal component (Imperfectiva tantum or Perfectiva tantum) or restrictions on use (predominant or preferred uses of the aspectual forms). We present the main factors governing the behavior of aspectual forms in the phraseology of both languages.
