Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the metaphoricality of phraseological units and tries to identify the necessary (not only potential) features of phrasemes. The author finds out how the transferred denomination [přenesené pojmenování] and figurative denomination [obrazné pojmenování] are related. She further monitor whether the phraseological units must be necessarily transferred and / or figurative. All theoretical findings are supported by concrete excerpts from Czech phraseology.
