It is generally known, that the vocabulary of a language is a complicated system. The vocabulary contains different units (words and word groups) which are interconnected and interdependent. Lexical paradigmatics is a systematic analyzes of the interconnected units of the vocabulary of a language. It includes the hierarchal structure of vocabulary sub-systems whose components are united by at least one type of relations common to all of them and are opposed by the same type of relations, e.g.: synonymic and antonymic sets, word-families, semantic fields, thematic groups …etc. In order to solve the tasks aimed at improving foreign language teaching it is important to compare languages by parts of vocabulary, as for example, the time-denoting phraseological units in English and Turkmen languages. According to linguist A.W. Coonin:“Phraseology is the treasure of language. Phraseological units are stable word combinations used in full or incomplete figurative meaning, and phraseological units reflect the history of the people, the uniqueness of its culture and life.
