Summary/Abstract: The principle aim of this article is to conduct an inquiry on one of the most important thesis of the 19th century linguistic studies, the principle of inner form, as well as to demonstrate that the inner form of the language which serves as a means of expressing the psychic content of it, is the most concrete and evident demonstration of the particular features and special characteristics a lan-guage possesses, especially in terms of dialectical lexicon and phraseology. A contrastive analysis of Albanian and Bulgarian phraseological units appeared of great interest and provided us a lot of evidence to fully justify the fact that during the process of shaping and structurally formalizing the basic idiomatic patterns, people have dissolved their spirit, their mentality, as well as their life style and material culture.
