    Abstract:
    The paper examines the semantic and linguocultural model of phraseological representation of the category of time in Russian, Chuvash, and English. The research material comprises lexicographic sources and fixed expressions with temporal semantics denoting duration, cyclicality, timeliness, expectation, temporal limit, and the impossibility of an event. The study employs the continuous sampling method, descriptive method, lexical-semantic, contextual, and comparative-contrastive analysis; a linguocultural approach is applied to interpret nationally-specific cultural meanings. The research was conducted in several stages, including the selection of units, their distribution into semantic groups, and comparison according to uniform parameters: time model, typical means of expression, cultural dominant, and nationally-specific zone of representation. The scientific novelty of the study lies in refining the comparative typology of temporal phraseology with the inclusion of Chuvash material, which has previously been underrepresented in research. Special attention is paid to Chuvash temporal-modal constructions with the meaning “will never happen.” The results obtained show that, within the scope of the material examined, the universal models are time as movement, as a resource, and as a cyclical process. At the same time, Russian material predominantly activates an evaluative-philosophical conceptualization of time, Chuvash — natural-ritual cyclicality, and English — punctuality, planning, and the pragmatic value of time.
