Fraseología de "ojo" en diccionarios monolingües del español actual.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the phraseological units which contain the substantive «eye» in Spanish. Adopting the main features of phraseologisms as a theoretical framework, we present the results of thirty-eight expressions found in four monolingual peninsular Spanish dictionaries (DRAE, DSal, DCLAVE, DVOX). We compare these results with data from a Mexican Spanish vocabulary (DEUM). Finally, the effect of geographical differences on the phraseological distribution of Spanish is also discussed.
