%0 Journal Article %T A contribution to the analysis of category of time and space in Croatian phraseology %A Maja Opa£¿i£¿ %J LAHOR : £¿asopis za Hrvatski kao Materinski, Drugi i Strani Jezik %D 2011 %I HFD (Croatian Philological Society) %X The paper focuses on the analysis of phrasemes with spatial and temporal meanings. Time and space are abstract categories, and phrasemes are one of several types of structures that enable us to express that which is abstract, non-dimensional and apperceptive within the framework of collective human experience. Concrete phenomena are built into phrasemes in order to name phenomena and circumstances that lack physical dimension, and this is the case with categories of time and space. The paper is based on a corpus collected from dictionaries of Croatian phrasemes. Phrasemes with spatial and temporal meanings are studied and analyzed separately. This also includes semantic analysis. %K phraseme %K time %K space %K semantic analysis %K phraseme background %U http://hrcak.srce.hr/file/118408
