Abstract:
The article discusses the approach to Balkan phraseology which can give new light on the cultural and cognitive content of the phraseological system of the language, and the role it plays in forming and reproducing the cultural identity of the ethnic community. It looks at some Balkan idioms which illustrate the reciprocal influence and addition between the present Balkan languages and culture. The phraseology is a store-house of many ancient cultural concepts. At the same time the reflected conceptualization is an alive process related to cognitive mechanisms. It assists us to understand the nature of the human thought in general, as well as the transformations of the meaning in the speech of every language group.
