Description

Rethinking Idiomaticity explores why native English speakers perceive certain phrases like 'take the plunge' as more idiomatic than others such as 'write a letter'. This pioneering study combines quantitative corpus-linguistic methodology with empirical judgement data to uncover the cognitive and linguistic factors that guide speakers' assessments of idiomaticity. By adopting a usage-based perspective, the research investigates which specific elements influence how language users evaluate the idiomaticity of constructions. Published by Continuum, this volume represents the first comprehensive examination to synthesise corpus analysis with speaker judgement data, offering new insights into idiomaticity as a multifaceted linguistic phenomenon. The work bridges theoretical linguistics and empirical research, providing scholars and researchers with evidence-based understanding of how phrasal meaning and convention interact in natural language use.
