W Breustedt, J. Getzin, J. Grätz, L Kolsut, H. Walter, Wörterbuch der deutschen Phraseologismen mit englischen und slawischen mm Äquivalenten

Abstract

The review deals with the book Wörterbuch der deutschen Phraseologismen mit englischen und slawischen Äquivalenten (Dictionary of German phraseologisms with English and Slavic equivalents). This book is a valuable contribution to historical, comparative or contrastive phraseology, also because of the included Slavic equivalents. The reviewer draws attention to the omission more of Slovene equivalents, since the concepts in Slovene phraseology are frequently quite similar to German - because of the centuries long contact between the two languages and because of their geographic vicinity.
