ETIOLOGICAL REVIEW ON SOME ORIGINAL PHRASEMES FROM ĐURĐEVAC
Vladimir Miholek
Abstract
The paper is an etiological review on some phrasemes coming from the Đurđevac (central Podravina) Kajkavian vernacular where local surnames are mentioned, as well as names, anecdotes, local toponyms, ethnics of some local villages, and the names of some people from other ethnicity. They have been singled out from the lexical lore collected on basis of associating with Đurđevec elders, and noted down by the author during a space of many years. Mostly they are comparative phrasemes, and several satirical sayings very rarely in use today. The author has learned about the origin and reason for such phrasemes by studying the history of Đurđevac found in literature, various records and historical sources. It is a contribution to the study of the Đurđevac Kajkavians' vernacular, i.e. Kajkavian phraseology.
