Mitologizmy frazeologiczne w najnowszych ujęciach lingwistycznych

Abstract

The present study represents an overview and a synthesis of the latest linguistic findings regarding phraseology with provenance in (Greco-Roman) mythology. The text refers to the most recent works, mostly published after 2000, which explore – solely or largely – mythology- based phraseological expressions. The issue of defining this term is discussed, its content and the breadth of its meaning are delineated, various classification and description criteria for such expressions are pointed out. The research standpoints put forward in the studies discussed may be described as having a comparative, etymological, statistical-theoretical, didactic, discursive-material or lexicographic inclination. By virtue of the subject matter along with its cultural and identity-related importance, the common denominator of the viewpoints presented is the domain of cultural linguistics.
