Abstract

Idiomatski izrazi i boje mogu učiniti jezik šarenijim i omogućiti ljudima da se bolje izraze. I u švedskom i u hrvatskom jeziku postoje mnogi idiomatski izrazi koji sadrže boju kao sastavnicu. Ovaj rad pokazuje da postoje razlike u značenju boja između ova dva jezika, ali i da postoje određeni ekvivalenti. Dok su boje poput zelene i plave češće u švedskom, crna i žuta češće su u hrvatskom. Međutim, analiza korpusa pokazala je da se kombinacija crne i bijele najviše pojavljuje u rečenicama i u švedskom i u hrvatskom jeziku.

Abstract (english)

Idiomatic expressions and colors can make language more colorful and allow people to express themselves better. Both in Swedish and Croatian there are many idiomatic expressions containing color terms as a component. This paper shows that there are differences in color meanings between these two languages, but also that there are certain equivalents. While colors like green and blue are more common in Swedish, black and yellow are more common in Croatian. However, corpus analysis has shown that the combination of black and white appears the most in sentences both in Swedish and Croatian.
