    Tell about A.V. Kunin’s classification of meaning types in PhUs
    

A.V. Kunin thinks that phraseology must develop as an independent linguistic science and not as a part of lexicology. His classification of phraseological units is based on the functions the units fulfill in speech. They may be:
 Nominative (a bull in a china shop);
 Interjectional (a pretty kettle of fish);
 Communicative (familiarity breeds contempt);
 Nominative-communicative (pull somebody's leg).

45. 
    What is a communicative function in PhUs? Provide examples.
    

The communicative function of phraseological units consists in their ability to serve as a communicative or message means; they serve to receive or deliver certain information.
Examples: My mom turned red when she heard my test results.
Italy was on the fence during the WWI (was neutral)

46. 
    What are the basic functions of metaphor and metonymy?
    

Metonymy is a figure of speech consisting of name usage of one thing for another of which it is an attribute.
Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.
Both metaphor and metonymy serve in order to show the analogy of two objects, items.
