Janoušková, Kateřina ; Fárová, Lenka (advisor) ; Lindroosová, Hilkka (referee)
(in English) This Bachelor's thesis surveys selected Finnish phraseological expressions that contain the following names of parts of the body: käsi 'hand', pää 'head' and silmä 'eye'. The phraseological expressions were collected from two phraseological dictionaries and a Ph.D. thesis on Finnish idioms. The selected expressions in this Bachelor's thesis are classified as idioms. The thesis describes what type of structures the idioms take and what their meaning is. The theoretical part, firstly, comments on the development of the phraseological research in Finland, secondly, it introduces Finnish phraseological terminology and, thirdly, it gives the classification of idioms by M. Nenonen, which is applied in the practical part of the thesis. The practical part consists of a morfo-syntactic analysis on the idioms, which divides the idioms into verbal, non-verbal and other idioms, and of the description of their semantic and lexical features.

This is mainly the consequence of mass emigration, which concerned the whole Europe during the 19th century, including Finland. Due to the conditions in their homeland, which had been absolutely unfavourable for living, thousands of Finnish citizens left for North America. In the beginning their destination was the USA, but later Canada became more desirable. There were large Finnish communities (over 30 000 people) in the states of Michigan and Minnesota in 1930 and even in 2000 thousands of Americans acknowledge Finnish ancestry.
