Croatian and English idioms with a component from the semantic field of sport

U ovome se radu analiziraju hrvatski i engleski frazemi sa sastavnicom iz semantičkog polja sporta. Cilj je rada kontrastivnom analizom utvrditi podudarnosti i razlike hrvatsko-engleskih frazema iz semantičkog polja sporta. Analiza je dokazala da je odabrane frazeme moguće podijeliti u četiri skupine. Prva skupina frazema predstavlja potpunu podudarnost hrvatskih i engleskih frazema, što znači da oba frazema imaju istu sastavnicu i strukturno ekvivalentan izraz te podudarnu pozadinsku sliku. U drugu skupinu spadaju frazemi koji sadrže istu sastavnicu, ali se djelomično razlikuju spram izraza. Treću pak skupinu čine značenjski nepodudarni primjeri koji se razlikuju i sastavnicom i izrazom. Posebnu, četvrtu, skupinu čine hrvatski frazemi bez engleskih ekvivalenata i obratno, engleski frazemi bez hrvatskih ekvivalenata.This paper analyzes Croatian and English idioms with a component from the semantic field of sport. The aim of this paper is to determine the similarities and the differences between Croatian and English sports idioms using contrastive analysis as a method. Firstly, the analysis has shown that these idioms can be divided into four groups. The first group comprises correspondent Croatian and English sports idioms, which means both idioms contain an identical component, lexically and structurally equal phrase and the same motivation for the figurative meaning, i.e. background. The second group contains Croatian and English sports idioms that are partially different in phrase structure. The third group includes Croatian and English idioms which do not match. The last group is based on the idioms specific to a certain language, i.e. those that do not have their equivalents in another language
