Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and question the exploitation of corpus, databases and dictionaries in the production of a bilingual dictionary of Spanish-Croatian proverbs, discussing on the one hand the well-known incongruities between pragmatics and lexicography (Do we actually use what is in the dictionary? In the case of variants, what is the canonical entry? Can we consider the proverbs with similar meaning as synonyms?), and on the other, considering the principles of contrastive paremiography (paremiological equivalents, types of equivalence, paremiological false friends).
