Summary/Abstract: In this article we discuss the interesting hybrid form of phrases found in Sandžački rječnik (Dictionary of Sandžak Dialects). This kind of hybridization is based on two conceptual systems—metaphor and metonymy. The world that surrounds humankind is a great generator of different language mechanisms. This phenomenon has been recognized by many cognitive linguists and cognitive semantics, but it was linguist Louis Goosens who coined the term for such a creation in language. He called it metaphtonymy, as a symbol of the continued relation between metaphor and metonymy. Metaphtonymy is based on different systems and unites comparisons such as A is B, and A is close to B. The corpus of this research is Sandžačaki rječnik by Džavid Begović and Šefka Begović-Ličina, published in 2012. Significantly, Sandžački rječnik is much richer with these examples than this article can illustrate. This paper concludes that these metaphtonymies are culturally unique to the territory of Sandžak.
