Ekspresivni potencijal frazema u Muradbegovićevim dramama „Na Božijem“ putu i „Pomrčina krvi“
Expressive Potential of Phrasal Idioms in Muradbegović's Dramas

Summary/Abstract: The paper shows that two semantic figures, i. e. comparison and metaphor, are very frequent in Muradbegović's dramas. Expressiveness of comparative phrasal idioms in the discussed dramas is very often based on excellent selection of objects of comparison. Although there is no such object in metaphor, its expressiveness is none the less pronounced. In addition to metaphor, also used in dramas are: personification, synecdoche, understatement and hyperbole. Expressiveness of antithesis and oxymoron is the effect of foregrounding, realized by the use of unexpected lexemes in the phrasal idiom. It is this fact in particular that recommends Muradbegović's phrasal idioms as the subject of analysis in this paper. Our aim herein was description of phrasal idioms in Muradbegović's dramas, but a very interesting subject of future research studies could be their detailed linguostylistic analysis.
