By Nelli Levchenko. Typology Of Idiomatic And Set Expressions

IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS ARE A TYPE OF INFORMAL LANGUAGE THAT HAVE A MEANING DIFFERENT FROM THE MEANING OF THE WORDS IN THE EXPRESSION

By their syntactic structure Idioms can be:a single worda phrasea clausea complete sentencean expression. People explain idioms as figures of speech

Many idioms are metaphorical. They are words — often verbs— and phrases with multiple, some verb sat related meanings."He flew out the door" is a figurative example of an idiom.

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.).

Some Terminological Distinctions. A rough list of the different forms of idioms and formulaic language mentioned in the literature includes the following categories, here illustrated with English examples for convenience (Gibbs, 1994, 2007; Sailer, 2013)

SAYINGSe.g., TAKE IT EASYe.g., COME ON!

Proverbs, which describe recurrent situationse.g., A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSHe.g., A STICH IN TIME SAVES NINE

PHRASAL VERBSe.g., COME INe.g., TAKE OFF

FORMULAIC EXPRESSIONS (e.g., AT FIRST SIGHT; ONCE UPON A TIME

LEXICAL BUNDLESidentifiable statistically and by intuition as recurrent sequences e.g., a little bit of, you don’t have to

COLLOCATIONSe.g., infinite patience, a hard frost, do a favor, give a look, take a stepor conventionalized co-occurrences including those formed by light verbs followed by specific object nouns
