Idiomatski izrazi s nazivima za boje u engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku

This thesis explores idiomatic expressions containing colour terms, especially colours black and white, in both English and Croatian, focusing on their meanings, usage, and cultural significance. By examining a corpus of idioms from each language, the study identifies similarities and differences in how these colours are employed metaphorically across both linguistic contexts. The research investigates the semantic and semiotic properties of these idioms, analyzing their figurative meanings and the extent to which they reflect universal or culture-specific concepts, thus revealing how color symbolism varies between the two languages. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of cross-cultural idiomatic expressions, offering insights into language, culture, and the role of colour and its symbolism in metaphorical thinking.
