Abstract
The article discusses Russian, Polish and Slovenian phraseological units containing the names of animals (zoonyms). The aim of the study is to determine to what extent the stereotyped image of animals, fixed in phraseological units, corresponds to contemporary knowledge about the behaviour of animals. An analysis of phraseological units concerning a cow, bull, calf, ox, goat, sheep and ram is conducted. A comparison of these phraseologies with contemporary data on animal behaviour reveals a certain discrepancy between the actual intellectual and psychological capacities of animals and their image fixed in phraseological units.
