SIGNALLING FUNCTION OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FROM THE ASPECT OF ETHNOPHRASEOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the segment of phraseology that presents the association sphere of music, with focus on the signalling function of musical instruments the presence of which is primarily followed in the phraseology of Slovak and of Bulgarian, and partly also in Czech, Croatian and Slovenian phraseology. The author compares the phraseological units which contain names of the musical instruments bell, drum, trumpet, and their corresponding verbal derivatives to ring (the bell), to drum, to blow (the trumpet), as well as the verb to beat expressing the semantic content “to produce sounds by beating”. In addition to the fixed collocations, the research within the investigated conceptual sphere also includes paremiological units. The investigated type of phrasemes is analyzed from interdisciplinary aspects, namely in the historical, ethnomusicological and ethnophraseological contexts.
