Sažetak

The paper analyses Croatian phrasemes that involve the semantic groups of wealth and poverty as
opposing phenomena. The aim is to demonstrate, by means of semantic analysis, how the
semantic groups of wealth and poverty are described in Croatian phrasemes. Possible
explanations for the selected phrasemes’ semantic background, which serves as the basis for the
classification of phrasemes into subgroups, are also offered. These subgroups describe the state,
cause, and degree of wealth/poverty, the manner in which wealth/poverty manifests itself, the
source of wealth, and the manner of acquiring it. The analysis of the selected examples shows that
some examples indicate a state of wealth or poverty in their constituent elements, while others
exhibit a higher degree of constituent element desemanticisation.
