This article is a part of the follow-up research on the author's previous comparative research of the zooapellatives or the animal names in Dutch and Czech similes (Křížová 2017). Its aim is to point out the dynamics in this area of the phraseology and to describe some congruences and/or differences in the linguistic picture of the world, which is reflected in the Czech and Dutch adjective-based similes with the animal names. These are most often to be found in the contemporary written language. For this purpose, data from the Czech written corpora SYN2000 and SYN2015 and the Dutch corpus Corpus Hedendaags Nederlands are used.

When acquiring knowledge of a language code (its grammatical system), either the mother tongue or foreign (or second), a major role is played by an intuitive, non-materialized, subjective grammatical rule acquired, as well as a cognitive, technical, explicitly formulated rule learned. A non-native speaker needs complex instructions about the target language, both about the formal aspect and the speech, functional and semantic dimension. Unfortunately, the latter is, more often than not, underestimated in textbooks of Czech for foreigners, there is significant room for improvement. A native speaker needs especially an instruction concerning the form...
