Abstract
The present paper represents a comparative approach to the toponymical structures in English and Romanian. The main toponymical structures that constitute the object of this article are those encountered in various phraseological units in both languages. More precisely, the article focuses on the place names that occur in English and Romanian expressions and phraseological units. They are presented from different perspectives, including the linguistic and cultural points of view. The material was selected from English and Romanian phraseological dictionaries, including The New Oxford Dictionary of English, as well as other theoretical sources.
