Etymologizing the Phrasemes: Some Problems and Goals.
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This paper is aimed at the most specific problems occurred by etymologizing the set-phrasemes in comparison with the regular vocabulary units. The methodology of phraseological etymologizing is analysed taking into account the Constructions Grammar’s approach to the phraseme as a structural-semantic unit. In this connection the author considers Phraseme Constructions as a “bridge” between grammar and vocabulary. The paper is based on Slavic phraseology highlighting the relevance of area and contrastive approaches. A special attention is paid to the role of Š. Ondruš’ works in establishing relationships between etymology, phraseology and area studies.
