Summary/Abstract: Phraseological research in the Bosnian language has had a tradition since the year 2000, although its implicit beginnings can be traced back to 1631, when Makbul-i Arif was written. Modern phraseological studies were strongly grounded in Russian phraseology, and the first theoretical work, Frazeologija bosanskoga jezika by Ilijas Tanović, represents a synthesis of the Russian phraseological school and the specific characteristics of the phraseological layer of the standard Bosnian language. The chapter on contrastive methods in Bosnian phraseology began shortly after its theoretical foundations were established; however, it appears that even a decade later there had been no phraseographic work which, in corpus terms, would enable diverse research into phraseological material. The year 2010 can be marked as the year of the dictionary in the Bosnian language, as Rječnik bosanskoga jezika (Halilović, Palić, Šehović) and the first volume of Jahić’s Rječnik bosanskog jezika were published. The former is a standardological dictionary containing a valuable inventory of phraseological material, while the latter is a dictionary of the literary Bosnian language and has so far demonstrated the impressive richness of Bosnian phraseological heritage. In 2012, Kao frazeološki rječnik, the first thematic phraseological dictionary, was published, among others. Nevertheless, a turning point in listing of Bosnian phraseological material occurred in 2016, with the publication of the first edition of Abdulah Mušović’s Sandžački frazeološki rječnik. This dictionary has surpassed the meaning of the territorial dialect mark in its title and has become essentially the most important phraseological dictionary of the Bosnian language due to its methodological approach, relation to the material and its scope. This study seeks to demonstrate both the contextual and non-contextual significance of the dictionary through the motivation behind the inclusion of greetings, as linguistic routines, in the corpus of the Sandžački frazeološki rječnik as one of its phraseological sources. Although greetings are routines, they often lack the metaphorical component that would ensure the idiomaticity of such structures. This, however, is bridged by examples showing that greetings should be understood as pragmatic idiomatic groups, since perlocution naturally predominates in them. In this way, the relevance of the author’s selection and his strong immersion in the linguistic practice of speakers is justified.
