    Gruntar Vilfan, Sibil
    The following study of Latin phraseological units in English and Slovene is based on Erasmus' work Adagiorum Chiliades. It aims to represent Erasmus' work as a possible and important source of Latin ... phraseological units, to address the theme of Latin phraseology from a modern phraseological point of view, to introduce a comparative study of Latin, English and Slovene phraseological units and offer the first translation of Erasmus' work into Slovene. The thesis consists of three parts: the theoretical part, the practical part and the translation of an excerpt from Erasmus' collection. Firstly, the theoretical part consists of an overview of phraseological theory and Erasmus' work Adagiorum Chiliades is presented as an important source of Latin proverbs and idioms in English. Secondly, the practical part consists of methodology, contrastive analysis, results and discussion. For the purpose of the contrastive analysis, a selection of 122 Latin phraseological units was made on the basis of Erasmus' collection. The database thus compiled is based mostly on those phraseological units which appear in English and Slovene. The database was then analysed contrastively and etymologically. The contrastive analysis was carried out with the help of adequate reference sources, including dictionaries and corpora. Thirdly, follows a translation of an excerpt from Erasmus' collection based on some of the Latin phraseological units presented in the contrastive analysis.
