Contrastive analysis of Croatian and Russian idioms with a zoonym component

Tema obrađena u ovom diplomskom radu su odabrani frazemi iz hrvatskoga i ruskoga jezika koji sadrže zoonimsku sastavnicu. Ograničili smo se na određeni broj frazema koji se odnose na čovjeka zbog velike količine hrvatskih i ruskih poredbenih frazema sa zoonimskom sastavnicom. Čovjekov suživot sa životinjama oduvijek je bila zanimljiva tema. U ovom radu poredbenom analizom objasnili smo nastanak i motivaciju odabranih frazema te utvrdili sličnosti i razlike u hrvatskom i ruskom jeziku. Između frazema utvrđena je djelomična, potpuna ili nulta ekvivalencija.The topic of this thesis concerns selected Croatian and Russian idioms with a zoonym component. The analysis is restricted to a limited number of human-related idioms due to their numerous presence in language. The coexistence between human and animal has always been an interesting topic. By employing the contrastive analysis in this thesis, the origin and rationale of the selected idioms are explained and so are the similarities and differences between the Croatian and Russian language identified. Among these idioms a partial, complete or zero equivalence is determined
