Abstract

The book is a result of a students’ project lead by the lector of the Hungarian language at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Zagreb. The students involved in the project were Antonija Jelavić, Darija Klinac, Eva Hoyt-Nikolić, and Nikola Kušćer. Up until this volume, no phraseological dictionary had been published on either side, therefore, the most important role of the present publication is to portray the most frequently used somatic expressions in Hungarian and in Croatian. In the total of the 158 pages, 46 sections of the body are distinguished in 850 phraseological units. The dictionary is primarily intended for students of the Croatian and of the Hungarian language, as well as for translators and interpreters; but those who simply wish to expand their vocabulary can also find it useful. With heart and soul is a significant contribution to both Croatian and Hungarian phraseology and lexicography.
