This research explores the psycholinguistic aspects of acquiring religious phraseological units, focusing on how cognitive, linguistic, and cultural factors influence their comprehension, memorization, and usage. The study examines the mental mechanisms involved in processing religious idioms, metaphors, and fixed expressions, highlighting the role of conceptual frameworks, associative thinking, and cultural background in shaping learners’ understanding. Special attention is given to how language acquisition theories intersect with religious discourse, revealing how such phraseological units contribute to worldview formation and linguistic identity.
