Abstract
The paper presents the first comprehensive description of how to create a paremiological minimum for learners of Czech as a foreign language based on current linguistic data.. The selection of proverbs should reflect the frequency, familiarity with and use of proverbs.
The study focuses on the most frequent proverbs in written Czech, using contemporary idiomatically annotated corpora. On this basis, our own minimum was created.
The paper compares the results with previous studies on the paremiological minima of Czech (Schindler 1993 and Čermák 2003) and shows the intersection of all three minima.
