Unități frazeologice „condimentate”: studiu comparativ în limbile germană și română
“Seasoned” Phraseological Units: a Comparative Study in German and Romanian

Summary/Abstract: The present study subsumes the ethno-linguistics, which in Eugen Coseriu’s terms, is aiming at the study of language variety and variation in close contact with civilization and culture of a community. This article examines German and Romanian phrasemes with spice compounds, found through lexicographical research on multilingual phraseological dictionaries. Drawing on lexicographical material (a small-sized corpus of German and Romanian phrasemes with spice compounds), the present study investigates the correspondence between their symbolic and phraseological meaning and makes a contrastive comparison to exemplify the cultural embedding of the phrasemes. Culinary names belong to the main lexical bulk of a language and that is why they are often used in phraseology. The study investigates the phraseological motivation of these sequences, especially the common sources of the German and Romanian phraseology.
