“…We define LPs as conventionalised, partially filled lexical schemes that are frozen by recurrent use. Recurrence is defined as the repeated appearance of similar linguistic structures in comparable contexts (Steyer 2013(Steyer , 2015(Steyer , 2020 (cf.

Productive Patterns in Phraseology and Construction Grammar

This paper deals with a specific type of lexeme, namely binary preposition-noun combinations containing temporal references like am Ende [at (the) end] or für Sekunden [for seconds]. 1 The main characteristic of these combinations is the recurrent internal zero gap. Despite the fact that the omission of the determiner can often be explained by grammatical rules, the zero gaps indicate a higher degree of lexicalization. Therefore, we interpret these expressions as minimal phraseological units with holistic meanings and functions. The corpusdriven exploration of typical context patterns (e.g. using collocation profiles and the lexpan slot filler analysis) shows that a) even such minimal expressions are based on semi-abstract schemes and b) temporal expressions can also fulfill modal or discursive functions, usually with fuzzy borders and overlapping structures. In the case of modalization or pragmatization one can regard such PNs as distinct lexicon entries. 2

This paper discusses the problems of lexicographical representation of Modern Greek constructional phrasemes – productive phraseological patterns with one or more variable components (slots). The analysis of Modern Greek general and phraseological dictionaries has shown that, in Modern Greek lexicography, there is no unified approach towards the description of this type of phraseologisms. One of the significant problems associated with lexicographical treatment of Modern Greek constructional phrasemes is that some of them are registered in dictionaries as fully fixed expressions with their slot(s) filled with a specific lexeme or a specific proposition, without any indication that these expressions possess a variable component. Such lexicographical representation of productive phraseological patterns does not reflect the real linguistic usage and does not allow the reader of the dictionary to understand that the expressions described in the dictionary as fully fixed show considerable variation and possess one or two slots that can be filled with a wide range of words or word combinations. The corpus analysis of the constructional phraseme Ούτε να Ρ (literally, ‘neither if’), which is registered in Modern Greek dictionaries in five different, all fully lexically specified forms, has shown that the specific realizations of this productive phraseological pattern included in the dictionaries either have relatively low frequency of occurrence in the corpus, or are not encountered in the corpus at all. Other realizations of this phraseological pattern account for over 92 % of all the cases of its use in the corpus, but the common pattern behind them can hardly be identified with the help of the existing lexicographical descriptions, as it is registered in the dictionaries under the lemmas of five different lexemes that do not form part of its fixed component. Based on the findings of this study, the paper raises the issue of developing a new approach towards the description of productive phraseological patterns that currently pose a significant challenge for adequate lexicographical representation.

Combined phrasemes 'without a hitch'

Constructional phrasemes are sometimes difficult to distinguish from 'complex collocations' or phraseological imbrications, which in turn could overlap with verbal and adverbial idioms, depending on whether their verbal element is included within the phraseme. The most prototypical cases are those in which an adverbial idiom frequently co-occurs with a verb, thus forming a collocation by imbrication between both parts. This verb may in turn present a striking lexical and syntactic variation by nominalisation. Therefore, these constructions do not show a uniform or predictable behaviour, and it is convenient to examine them on a case-by-case basis, detailing their combinatorial restrictions. Within this line, the present work studies -using qualitative and quantitative criteria -the external combinatorics of the Spanish adverbial idiom a pedir de boca within a large electronic textual corpus (esTenTen18). The sequence appears on 3330 occasions in its continuous form (0.17 per million words), plus 175 in discontinuous form. The verb salir predominates (1706 co-occurrences), but there are also 71 other verbs which combine on 398 occasions with a pedir de boca and which were grouped according to their semantic class. This results in four groups of verbs that are synonymic or hyponymic with respect to their prototype. Given that the basis of this complex collocation turns out to be an entire semantic class, and that each of its verbs has a highly variable frequency, it can be considered a constructional phraseme, or phraseological construction, whose fixedness is more conceptual than lexical-grammatical.
