Анотация: The relevance of the chosen topic can be explained by the following reasons:
1) nowadays we can observe a vast diversity of language varieties, having English language in its foundations. Many of such language phenomena are unexplored or little-known to date;
2) to our knowledge, peculiarities of phraseology of Jamaican Patois have only been investigated by Jamaican linguist Jean D’Costa: the rest of the works, dedicated to Patois that we managed to find, were focused on different aspect of this mesolect – grammar, vocabulary and syntax in most of the cases. Based on this, we considered interesting to concentrate our attention on phraseological peculiarities of Jamaican Patois;
3) nowadays lots of people all over the world are concerned about the issue of ethnical identity, and language undoubtedly is a crucial part of this issue. Exploring little-known language varieties, such as Jamaican Patois, helps us build up an image of its speakers as a separate ethnical group, and this increases our knowledge of ethnical diversity.
