Croatian Dialect Phraseology and Geolinguistics

Sa？etak This article discusses the possibility of a geolinguistic approach to dialect phraseology. The fact that dialect phraseology has not been consistently researched is pointed out as the main problem. In order to make reliable and more complete phraseological maps, specially focused fieldwork would have to be carried out in teams so that no regions will be left unresearched. In addition to marking confirmed usage in the field, the maps also show the variation in phrasemes in Croatian dialects at different linguistic levels. The paper also discusses what would be good to take into account in order to illustrate the different versions of phrasal expressions
