Zvonko NIKODINOVSKI ETHNONYMS IN PHRASEOLOGICAL AND PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS IN MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE Summary The subject matter of the study is the ethnonyms as constituents of the idioms and the paremias in Macedonian language. The investigation studies the ethnonymic idioms and certain types of paremiological units (especially proverbs and interactive units) in Macedonian language corpora in order to determine the image which was built about some peoples as referents in an important cluster of the Macedonian ethnosemiotcs - in his phraseology and paremiology. A total of 281 units (214 paremiological and 67 phraseological units) with figurative meaning has been studied. These units contain 16 ethnonyms, among which the most frequent are: ROM with 128 (91 + 37) occurrences and TURK with 72 (63 + 9) occurrences. The image offered by all ethnonyms as constituent parts of phraseological and paremiological units with figurative meaning in Macedonian language is mostly negative. Keyw Less
