Biblical phrasemes in local speech Sveti Đurđ In this thesis, we conceptually analyse 84 biblical phrasemes obtained through field questionnaires and conversation with native speaker. Phrasemes are classified by their meaning into five semantic groups as follows: 1) phrasemes describing human character traits (neither good nor bad, kindness, humanity, laziness, betrayal, mistrust, excellence, wisdom, stubbornness, disobedience, arrogance, responsibility (24 in total)), 2) phrasemes that describe a person‟s age (total of 6), 3) phrasemes that describe a person‟s mental traits (knowledge – ignorance) (3), 4) phrasemes describing person‟s living space (distant and undeveloped regions (4)), and 5) phrasemes describing person‟s life (guard against evil, positive outcome, difficult life, good successful life, work – indolence, God‟s punishment, justice, death, power, protection – protecting someone, health – illness, threat, pleading, joy along the way, sin, admiration, end of discussion – amen, nudity, begging, faith – belief, forgiveness (22)). The most numerous of phraseme groups is the group that describes a person‟s life. It is the most numerous because it includes different human‟s conditions from death as the end of human‟s life till faith, forgiveness and similar The literature analysis showed that the most numerous phrasemes are those of God, followed by biblical anthroponyms.
