Sažetak
Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phraseology of 40 hours of speeches from the Croatian parliament between 1990 and 2002, it can be concluded that in the political substyle of the administrative style the majority of phrasemes belong to the general phraseological fund. It is interesting that the general phraseological fund is in some cases linked to the political discourse in which it originated. The number of phrasemes encountered in the corpus, 687, disproves the statement on the nonexpressiveness of the administrative style, since expressiveness, in addition to imagery and connotation, is an important characteristic of phrasemes. This research contributes to the systematic description of functional styles of the Croatian language, including the standard language. Such descriptions are needed in order to emphasize the multifunctionality of language and the normative use of phrasemes. The phraseology of other functional styles should also be analyzed in order to isolate phrasemes which belong to particular styles and in that way add stylistic marks to phraseological dictionaries.
