| Description | The paper analyses Czech, Croatian and Bulgarian phrasemes with exotic toponymic components. The most frequent are the toponyms associated with Oriente – biblical (oikonyms Sodom, Gomor, Babylon) and non-biblical (oikonym Diyarbakir, quasichoronym Tramtaria, choronym India). „Non-oriental“ exotic toponyms are connected with Africa (choronym Sahara), Asia (choronyms Siberia and Japan) and South America (choronym Patagonia). Exotic toponyms of biblical origin are exclusively oikonymous, while all other examples (except for one exception) are belong to the group of the choronyms. We suppose this is because the biblical stories (and hence the biblical toponymy) contain many names not only of supraregional or regional but also of local character, which subsequently penetrated into the phraseology of different languages, whereas in the case of non-biblical exotic toponyms people remember more easily the name of a larger territorial unit (region, territory, country, imperium, island etc.), which can then be part of a phraseological unit. |
