Abstract

Idioms with a component from the semantic field of food and drink in Turkish and Croatian language The goal of this master's thesis is to analyze Turkish and Croatian idioms with a lexical element from the semantic field of food and drink as its component. Since food and drink are a crucial part of everyday life, they also find their place in the phraseological fund of different languages, including Turkish and Croatian. We compared the idioms with lexemes referring to concrete gastronomic elements and food, as well as the ones which describe a person’s relation towards food and drink. A contrastive analysis showed that the majority of Turkish idioms and proverbs do not have their equivalent in the Croatian language and that semantically compatible examples do not have the same lexical composition or syntactic structure. The analysis also suggests that a certain number of Turkish and Croatian idioms and proverbs have two or more variants, which proves the phraseological and paremiological richness of these languages.
