PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH ONOMASTIC COMPONENTS: THE CASE OF ENGLISH AND SLOVENE

The article discusses English and Slovene phraseological units with onomastic components. The research is based on two databases: an English one comprising 172 phraseological units and a Slovene one consisting of 324 phraseological units. The phraseological units are studied to determine which prope...

The research is based on two databases: an English one comprising 172 phraseological units and a Slovene one consisting of 324 phraseological units. The phraseological units are studied to determine which proper names form components of English and Slovene phraseological units and how frequently they appear in English and Slovene.
