COBISS.SI-ID: 35932717The two-day event was directly connected with two national research projects, which were financially supported by the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) between the years of 2010 and 2013. Both projects are concerned with the field of phraseology and paremiology. The project titled Phraseology of the German language: Slovenian-German Comparative and Intercultural Perspectives, (J6-3601, headed by Vida Jesenšek) was undertaken at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Maribor, while the project Slovenian Proverbs as Cultural Heritage: Classification and Corpus Editing (J6-3600, headed by Marija Stanonik) was undertaken at the Institute of Slovenian Ethnology of the Scientific Research Centre at the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (SRC SASA). Due to the relatedness of the topics and the currentness of the project work, it made sense to organise a joint scientific event, to which the respective organisers invited esteemed domestic and foreign experts. The participants acquainted themselves with the content and the progress of the projects and in turn presented the findings of their own related research endeavours on the phraseology and paremiology field.
