Über „blaue Briefe”, „schwarze Löcher”, „niebiescy chłopcy” und „czarna śmierć”: zu einigen semantischen Besonderheiten im Bereich der Farbphraseologi
About 'blue letters', 'black magic', ' blue boys', and ' black death': about special semantic features within the phraseology of colours. A Polish-Ger

Summary/Abstract: The phraseology of colours is a significant sphere within the diction of Polish and German languages. This results from the fact that colours exist as an inseparable element of human reality. However, the conceptualisation of the names of colours depends on a given language society. The fact is reflected in the phraseological resources of a language. The material for the analysis are the indicated collocations, where the names of colours often gain additional meanings which go beyond the dictionary denotations. The paper describes the special semantic features of the names of colours in collocations: polysemy, translator's false friends.
