• U radu se proučava kajkavska frazeologija na temelju prikupljanja kajkavskih, čakavskih i štokavskih frazema u stotinjak hrvatskih punktova prema posebno izrađenim upitnicima i u slobodnom razgovoru s ispitanicima u sklopu rada na projektu Istraživanje hrvatske dijalektne frazeologije i u suradnji s nekoliko generacija studenata Kroatistike Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu.
• Kajkavian phrasemes in their composition and structure do not differ fundamentally from the phrasemes in the Croatian standard language. Phonetical, phonological, morphological, syntactic and other variants can be found in the phraseology of particular Kajkavian speeches, along with a rich phraseological synonymy, antonymy, homonymy and polysemy. The dialectal Kajkavian is a phraseology of open type, renewing itself with units from different sources, among others by borrowing. On one hand it preserves the old state – being conservative as phraseology in general tends to be – while on the other hand it is susceptible to change. In this phraseology new idioms appear easily, while at the same time old ones undergo different innovations.
