The analysis of phraseological units and their cross-linguistic equivalents, in which imagery congruence is the key criterion, results in creating a typology of cross-linguistic equivalents. The typology consists of the following groups of equivalents: phraseological units whose cross-linguistic equivalents are also phraseological units conveying fully or partially congruent imagery or conveying different imagery: phraseological units whose cross-linguistic equivalents are word combinations of non-phraseological character, either literal translations into the target language, or descriptive equivalents; phraseological units whose cross-linguistic equivalents have word equivalents (compounds and single words) of full or partial imagery congruence as well as those devoid of imagery.
