Abstract

Cilj ovog rada usporedba je nizozemskih i hrvatskih frazema na temelju prikaza na Bruegelovoj slici Nizozemske poslovice. Slika je nastala u 16. stoljeću i već je dugo predmetom frazeoloških istraživanja. Kontrastivnom analizom uspostavljen je odnos podudarnosti između nizozemskih frazema i odabranih im hrvatskih ekvivalenata.
Teoretski dio rada uspoređuje razvoj frazeologije na oba govorna područja te daje opći uvid u jezikoslovnu tradiciju kojoj pripada proučavanje ove slike, s kratkim osvrtom na povijest prikupljanja poslovica. Slijede usporedba terminologije na oba jezična područja te uspostava terminologije koja će se potom koristiti, definicija te kategorizacija frazeoloških cjelina. Potom se objašnjavaju alati korišteni za srž rada, a to su kontrastivna analiza te pojam ekvivalencije.
U teoretskom dijelu se još i kontekstualizira nastanak slike – od kulturne klime 16. stoljeća na sjeverozapadu Europe, do Bruegelova nastavljanja tek započete tradicije monumentalnih prikaza jezičnih pojava. Također, sumarno se navodi Bruegelov život te se opisuju neke formalne karakteristike slike.
U praktičnom dijelu rada uspostavlja se korpus frazema koje će se potom analizirati, iznose se njegovi izvori te kriteriji korišteni za odabir. Konačni korpus čini 117 frazema nad kojima je provedena strukturna, tipološka te semantička analiza, a izneseno je i objašnjenje svakog pojedinog frazema.
Kontrastivna analiza frazema čini zadnji, glavni dio rada. Pokazala je da gotovo četvrtina frazema iz korpusa ima istovrijedan ekvivalent u hrvatskom jeziku, a 23,9 % ih se djelomično podudara s nekim od hrvatskih frazema i oni su uglavnom zasnovani na zajedničkom izvoru. Više od polovica frazema iz korpusa nema odgovarajući frazem u hrvatskom jeziku, ali je pronađen neki slična značenja. Tek 8 frazema nema apsolutno nikakav usporediv frazem u hrvatskom jeziku. Iz navedenog se može zaključiti da, unatoč kulturnoj razlici, postoji niz ekvivalentnih frazema u oba jezika koji vuku podrijetlo iz antike ili Biblije, no veći dio frazema ipak ostaje kulturno specifičan.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to compare Dutch and Croatian idioms depicted in Bruegel's painting Netherlandish Proverbs. The painting was made in the 16th century and has been the subject of phraseological research for a long time. A contrastive analysis was used to find Croatian equivalents to the depicted Dutch phrases.
The theoretical part of the paper compares the development of phraseology in the Netherlands and Croatia and gives a general insight into their linguistic tradition, with a summary of paremiology. This is followed by a comparison of the terminology in both language areas and the establishment of the terminology that will be used later, the definition and categorization of phraseological units. After that, the tools which are used for the core of the paper are explained – the contrastive analysis as well as the concept of equivalence.
The practical part of the thesis is focused on the establishing of the phraseological corpus, which will be later analysed, as well as its sources and criteria for choosing presented. The final corpus consists of 117 idioms on which a structural, typological and semantic analysis was carried out, and an explanation of each idiom was presented.
Contrastive analysis of idioms constitutes the last, main part of the paper. It showed that almost a quarter of the idioms from the corpus has an equivalent in the Croatian language, and 23.9% of them partially coincide with some of the Croatian idioms as they are mostly based on a common source. More than half of the idioms from the corpus do not have a corresponding idiom in the Croatian language, but an idiom with a similar meaning can be found. Only 8 idioms have absolutely no comparable idiom in the Croatian language. It can be concluded that, despite the cultural difference, we can find equivalent idioms in both languages, and their origins are common to be traced either to antiquity or the Bible, but most of the idioms remain culturally specific.
