Sažetak
The problem of understanding and using phrases is present in different scientific fields and disciplines. Expressing the world with transferred meanings helps economizing the language. It is widespread in everyday discourse and poetics, mythology, literature, technical and scientific terminology. Some transferred meanings are, due to their frequent useage, embedded in everyday language, so they have almost lost the transferred identity. Other transferred menings are rearly heard and hardly comparable by their meaning in
given language (idioms), let alone with idioms in other languages.
Understanding and using figurative meanings reflects not only cultural and linguistic, but also cognitive component. Therefore, the complexity and structure of the transferred meanings provides information on a number of environmental and individual developmental characteristics. This paper describes 10 phrases of
the Croatian language, selected with regard to: 1) the origin and development of idioms, related to objects and actions that define meaning peculiarly for the culture; 2) individual linguistic or semnantic competences.By determining those characteristics in typical language development it is possible to recognize the difficulties in the adoption of figurative meanings. Transferred meanings are also present in written communication, in forms that support initial acquiring of reading, as well as in forms intended for advanced readers. Therefore, in order to achieve optimal language development, it is necessary to design the procedures for the development of communication trough phrases. This is also necessary fro the prevention of difficulties in reading and writing. Given its objective and the present knowledge, this paper describes the results of the analysis of idioms recognition among 40 ten-years-olds with typical language and speech development.
