Abstract

This article describes various construction types of Slovak and Slovenian phrasemes whose component structures include names of chordophones (i.e., instruments making sound with vibrating strings; namely, the violin, piano, double bass, harp, zither, and banjo), their derivations, and some lexemes that are closely related in meaning. It then analyses the phraseological and lexical units in terms of motivation, origin, equivalence, and so on, and links them to relevant Slovak and Slovenian cultural realia.
