Lexicon of Common Figurative Units: Widespread Idioms in Europe and Beyond. Volume II - International Folkloristics
Elisabeth Piirainen
The book is both a continuation of “Widespread Idioms in Europe and Beyond” (2012) and differs from it by new insights into the similarities of the European languages. Using comprehensive data from 77 European and some non-European languages, another 250 “widespread idioms” have been analyzed in terms of their distribution and origins.
