Description
Summary:	The paper reexamines the definition of idioms taking into consideration some phraseological elements (<i>krenulo je niz brdo</i> (<i>nizbrdo</i>) što, <i>ići na ruku</i> (<i>naruku</i>) komu) or phraseological units (<i>bogtepitaj, budibogsnama, kvragu</i>). The accepted definition of idioms is redefined to include some »one-word« idioms (<i>amo-tamo, brže-bolje, danas-sutra, rak-rana, više-manje, zbrda-zdola</i>). The research is based on a corpus of Croatian manuals of orthography from Partaš to Babić and Moguš, Croatian monolingual dictionaries, dictionaries of Croatian idioms and the electronic corpus <i>Croatian Language Repository</i>.
