Sinossi

Unconventional phraseological replies such as ‘Time to get a watch’ to a question What time is it? are based on different mechanisms to establish a link with the target statement of person A (a stimulus). Recently, some contrastive phraseological studies have been conducted on unconventional replies in Slavic languages. This article shows the potential of such studies using the example of phraseological replies to stimuli with the same meaning (‘What time is it?’) in Slovenian, Slovak, Polish, and Russian.
