| Description | This contribution aspires to show one linguistic aspect of two words: health (a noun) and healthy (an adjective), namely their occurrence and usage in phraseological expressions. We will focus on comparisons such as healthy as a beet, healthy as a fish, healthy as a beech, and phraseological units adjective + health, like iron health, strong health, robust health. We will attempt to determine the frequency of these phraseological connections in contemporary Czech writings within the Czech National Corpus called SYN and we will consider the subject matter of the texts that contain these phraseologisms. We will also try to contemplate the ways of using phraseological expressions with the words health and healthy in scholastic practice intended to meet the objectives of the General Educational Program for Basic Education. |
