The article is devoted to the study of linguistic and cultural features of phraseological units with a phytonym component “birch” in the Russian language. Language contains knowledge about the culture of the people, their moral and ethical values, which are reflected in the semantics of culturally marked language units of different levels. The perception of the surrounding world and its individual elements plays an important role in the ontogenesis of linguacultural studies. At the non-linguistic level, images of plants are associated with emotions, at the linguistic level – with the translation of these emotions in the form of connotations in the semantics of stable expressions. It is revealed that stable expressions convey knowledge about the culture of the people, fixed in the national consciousness, broadcast fragments of the linguistic picture of the world, and express attitudes to certain objects, phenomena, or events. It is proved that the ability of stable expressions to transmit cultural knowledge allows access to the consciousness and mentality of the nation through the analysis of linguistic data.
