Abstract
The article considers phraseologisms of joint appearance of antonyms, shows the internal semantic structure of antonymic components and reveals the cognitive causes for the generation and construction of such type of idioms. The content of the study is a description of three typical kinds of constructions “X and Y”, “X or Y”, “neither X nor Y” out of the form of antonymy co-occurrence idioms, and an analysis of symmetrical embodied cognitive strategy and iconic sequence as cognitive causes for the phenomenon of symmetrical embodied cognitive strategy in the Russian language.
