Mira Menac-Mihalić ; Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Idioms with a personal name as a component have been collected in different parts of the Croatian vernacular. In Croatian local dialects there are many universal idioms that can also be found in other European and world languages. There are also many different local idioms. The meaning and structure of an idiom are often the same in various local dialects, and only the personal name changes (for example: ima koga kao Gostića // ima koga kao Rokića // ima koga kao Vantića).
