Types of Idiomatic Expressions. In the study of language special attention is usually devoted to multi-word expressions that are syntactically complex and fixed to some degree. These expressions are usually referred to by means of the term idiom in the Anglo-Saxon tradition (Fraser, 1970; Fillmore, Kay, & O’Connor, 1988; Gibbs, 1993, i.a.), and by the term phraseme in the Romance and Germanic traditions (Burger, Buhofer, & Sialm, 1982; Burger, Dobrovol’skij, Kühn, & Norrick, 2007; Mel'čuk, 1995, i.a.).
