FRAZEMSKA ANTONIMIJA U EPSKOJ POEZIJI
PHRASEOLOGICAL ANTONYMY IN EPIC POETRY

Summary/Abstract: Investigation of meaning stands in line with the most complex linguistic investigations. How complex this question is, tells the fact that besides linguistics, other humanistic disciplines such as: semiotics, anthropology, philosophy, logic and psychology, are involved. The topic of the paper is semantic relation of antonymy of the most frequent phrasemes in the language of folk songs. We will point out certain semantic values of the analyzed phraseme, that could be developed on different levels, as well as some modifications noticed with phrasemes of loose structure in relation to characteristics of literary and belles-lettres functional style. Approach to this heterogeneous complex is founded on the grounds of contemporary linguistics, although the term phraseme is based on structuralistic model, which is logically based on the model of linguistic sign. Also, the term contrast is taken, or to be more precise the term binary of word structure, and the analysis of this type of text is conditioned on the concept-folk song text, as a linguistic context, but also as a nonlinguistic-verbal culture as a whole. So here, we approach to phrasemes as a linguistic units, considering their place and meaning in the text, but also considering their function and meaning in culture, so we speak indirectly about them, as culturemas.
