Abstract	This thesis aims at researching the concepts of idioms and the mental lexicon, with the question of the storage of idioms in the mental lexicon in its focus. Discussed in this work are the most important notions which are related to the topic of the research. Idioms are explained and described regarding their structure and properties. The concept of the mental lexicon is presented, together with the most relevant theories regarding its structure. The aim of the research was to test the hypothesis that idioms are stored as separate lexical units in the mental lexicon. Before presenting the study, previous works of research which explored the question of idiom storage in the mental lexicon are displayed. The research question is assessed by a simple experiment using an online survey. The results are presented in tabular fashion and examined in detail. The findings of the experiment point towards conclusions which are evaluated according to the previously described theories.
