Summary/Abstract: The extensive phraseology collection reflecting the linguistic image of the handicraft in Slovak and Polish can be classified into two blocks: 1. the general perception of the craft, 2. the perception of the specific crafts. Both blocks are interconnected by basic semantic categories (by the person carrying out the craft, the craft activity, the object of craft activity), as well as the most significant social and existential aspect, weaker captured gender, ethical, psychological, local and time-related aspects with their own signs. These features point to the common perception of craft arising from linguistic and cultural proximity, but their more detailed semantic specifications often reveal two unique interpretations based on complementarity, not contrast. The similarities in Polish and Slovak folk image of the craft are revealed through formally and semantically identical phraseological units, the number of which is. More often we can find the grips with semantically similar units that are partly different from a lexical, syntactic or morphological point of view. Semantically close, but formally dissimilar units are the most representative in Slovak-Polish image of the craft, and therefore represent the material and content basis of the analyzes contianed in the contribution.
