Abstract

“Equivalence is the relation between language forms of different language systems that
have the same function in certain text.” [1]
The today’s world brings us rapid technological development which in itself also carries intensification
of communication not only in the field economy and politics but also in the field of culture; this means
that what has a crucial role in the development of the world is communication. For its continuous
development it is necessary to overcome the obstacles that occur in mutual communication, especially
among speakers of different languages. We will indicate equivalence as the main tool for
communication, which is finding the right language parallels between the languages in which the
communication takes place. In this context we should mention phraseologisms as a specific language
category, characteristic of each language individually, which in fact is a major obstacle to
communication in different languages. The problem is in the inability to always find suitable
equivalents of the source language in the target language, for which finding alternative translation
solutions that will capture the semantic meaning is recommended [2]. In this paper we will try to clarify
the term equivalence through examples of German and English phraseologisms, as widely used
languages, and to emphasize the importance of the term equivalence in relation to phraseologisms.
