Abstract

Idioms, conceived as fixed multi-word expressions that conceptually encode non-compositional meaning, are linguistic units that raise a number of questions relevant in the study of language and mind (e.g., whether they are stored in the lexicon or in memory, whether they have internal or external syntax similar to other expressions of the language, whether their conventional use is parallel to their non-compositional meaning, whether they are processed in similar ways to regular compositional expressions of the language, etc.). Idioms show some similarities and differences with other sorts of formulaic expressions, the main types of idioms that have been characterized in the linguistic literature, and the dimensions on which idiomaticity lies. Syntactically, idioms manifest a set of syntactic properties, as well as a number of constraints that account for their internal and external structure. Semantically, idioms present an interesting behavior with respect to a set of semantic properties that account for their meaning (i.e., conventionality, compositionality, and transparency, as well as aspectuality, referentiality, thematic roles, etc.). The study of idioms has been approached from lexicographic and computational, as well as from psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic perspectives.
习语和短语
习语被认为是固定的多词表达,在概念上编码非构成意义,是语言学单位,它提出了许多与语言和思维研究相关的问题(例如,它们是存储在词典中还是存储在记忆中,它们是否具有与语言其他表达相似的内部或外部语法,它们的传统用法是否与它们的非构成意义平行,以及它们是否具有相同的语法。)它们是否以与语言的正则组合表达式相似的方式处理,等等)。习语与其他形式的公式化表达有异同之处,在语言文献中主要表现为习语的类型,以及习语所处的维度。在语法上,习语表现出一组语法属性,以及一些限制,这些限制决定了它们的内部和外部结构。从语义上讲,习语表现出一种有趣的行为,这种行为与一组解释其含义的语义属性有关(即,惯例性、组合性和透明度,以及特殊性、指称性、主题角色等)。习语的研究从词典学和计算学以及心理语言学和神经语言学的角度进行了探讨。
