Obraz narzędzi rolniczych utrwalony w polskiej frazeologii i paremiologii

The object of analysis in this paper are fixedword combinations (phraseological units and proverbs) with components denoting names of agricultural tools. They were used to conceptualize numerous ideas connected not only with the appearance of tools and agricultural work done, but also with various aspects of individual and collective life. Most of the analysed phrasemes already belong to the recessive sphere of phraseology. In order to understand them completely, it is necessary to have some knowledge of what they look like, what purpose they served and what kind of work was done with their use, which is not always clear to people who don’t know anything about the village reality.
