Summary/Abstract: The following remarks focus on a section of the extensive spectrum of pre-formedlanguage as a special area of the language stock, whereby those phenomena are examined in moredetail which – precisely because they are established as formulation patterns in a language community – refer to human behavior or actions and thus to interpersonal relationships and social customs.Comparative phraseologisms (CP), which have been excerpted from representative phraseologicaldictionaries of German and Romanian, serve as the material basis. In communication practice, phraseologisms help with formulation work because communication tasks, which are an integral part ofsocial interaction, are routinely accomplished with the help of ready-made linguistic expressions. Theuse of phraseologisms can secure certain communication intentions. The article therefore takes up thefrequently expressed insight that the speakers of a language community have extensive, differentiatedeveryday knowledge about language and communication based on collective communicative experience, which is drawn on in linguistic interaction. The interlingual analysis of this excerpt from conventional language use reveals preferred images and metaphors in the compared languages Germanand Romanian, so that the article shows the productive source domains for the conceptualization ofthe event of communication. With regard to the phraseological occupation, similarities in the conceptual processing of this key term can be determined, whereby the registered convergences suggestcommon observations and attitudes in the targeted language communities
