phraseology, Bosnian language, Arabism, coffee, culture

The article deals with obsolete and actively used phraseological units in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the component of Arabic origin coffee. The coffee lexeme as a component of phraseological expressions and proverbs can be used both in the direct and euphemistic meanings. The current paper interprets the term Arabism widely: not only as a direct lexical borrowing, going back to the Arabic language, but also as an indirect lexical borrowing. The language of the Ottoman Turks became the intermediary language for the penetration of words of Arabic origin into the languages of the Balkan peoples. The article provides some culturological and historical-etymological comments on phraseological units, interprets the meaning of phraseological turns and their components. The research methods are synchronous-descriptive and component analysis. The involvement of phraseological material from other languages allowed us to identify the universality or national specificity of the phraseological unit with the coffee component in the Bosnian Muslim language. Almost all the phraseological phrases considered are idioethnic (except those related to the tradition of coffee divination). The article does not consider stable combinations of terminological words related to the method of making and serving coffee (Viennese coffee, coffee with milk, etc.).
