Abstract

In Julije Benešić’s Rječnik hrvatskoga književnoga jezika od preporoda do I. G. Kovačića [A Dictionary of the Croatian Literary Language from the National Revival to I. G. Kovačić] — based on the language of about 600 literary works written by 107 Croatian writers and published during a one-hundred-year period (1850—1950) — phraseological expression is a vital component.
However, the lexicographical interpretation of idioms in Benešić’s dictionary has not been conducted systematically. This article describes the lexicographical inclusion procedures and the processing of idioms in the twelve already published volumes of the dictionary and proposes possibilities for their systematic and consequent analysis in the remaining volumes (S—Ž), the compilation of which is currently in progress.
