Editorial (Deutsch).

The Yearbook of Phraseology, in its latest edition, focuses on idioms and proverbs from a monolingual perspective in Spanish, German, Croatian, and English. The articles presented in this edition are empirically and corpus linguistically oriented, exploring conceptual questions such as the idiomatic specificity of the discourse surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, word repetitions in speeches from a well-known English TV game show, and creativity in half-schematic phrase constructions. Additionally, three articles examine proverb variants in dictionaries, the phenomenon of hyperbole and its lexical marking, and phraseological valency from a diachronic perspective. The journal also includes book reviews and an obituary for a Swedish colleague. [Extracted from the article]
