FRAZEOLOGIZMI U KNjIŽEVNIM DELIMA ZA DECU NA NEMAČKOM I SRPSKOM JEZIKU

Abstract

This paper deals with the use of phraseology in literary works for children in Serbian and German, especially the way phraseologisms are implemented in texts intended for children. In addition, similarities in using phraseologisms in literary works for children in Serbian and German are identified, on the basis of Harald Burger’s aspects of the use of phraseology. Phraseologisms are multi-word lexical units, fixed expressions with conventional meaning which is difficult to deduce based on understanding of the meaning of their components, when it comes to idioms. Therefore, it is very interesting and important to examine how authors of children’s literary works apply phraseology and what means they use to facilitate children’s understanding of phraseologisms. The research corpus contains books for children aged 6 to 12, from which phraseologisms were excerpted.
