Комбиноване модификације паремија у новинском дискурсу шпанског и српског језика
Combined Modifications of Paroemias in the Newspaper Discourse of Spanish and Serbian

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes paroemias modified through the simultaneous application of two or more mechanisms (element replacement, addition, omission, grammatical modification). The study is based on a corpus drawn from Spanish and Serbian newspaper discourse, comprising 292 paroemias in Spanish and 330 paroemias in Serbian. The findings indicate that the most frequent combinations involve replacement and addition of elements, as well as diverse grammatical modifications combined with replacement, addition, or omission. The motives driving authors of newspaper texts to modify paroemias are manifold, particularly the intention to capture readers’ attention, enrich journalistic style, and make it more accessible. Moreover, such modifications aim to provoke various effects in readers, including humor, irony, sarcasm, and playfulness.
