The comprehension of idioms

Journal of Memory and Language, 1988
Abstract The access of idiomatic expressions was investigated in three cross-modal priming experiments. When the idiomatic string was predictable, subjects were faster at performing a lexical decision to idiomatically related targets than to literally related targets (Experiment 1).

Idioms

Language, 1994
In the literature of generative grammar, idiomaticity has been widely identified with noncompositionality. Such a definition fails to recognize several important dimensions of idiomaticity, including, among others, conventionality and figuration. We propose to distinguish IDIOMATICALLY COMBINING EXPRESSIONS (e.g.

Compositional Idioms

Language, 2000
In this article we argue that there is a large class of expressions, typified by plastic flower, stuffed animal and kosher bacon , that have a unique semantics combining compositional, idiomatic and decompositional interpretation. These expressions are compositional because their constituents contribute their meanings to the meanings of the wholes ...

Idioms and Phraseology

2019
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 ...

The Idiom of the Ethical

Epoché, 2012
The purpose of this paper is to raise the question of ethical life independently of the framework of metaphysical assumptions, above all, independently of the language and idiom of conceptual reason. In order to carry out this project, which is akin to what Heidegger described as the project of formulating an “original ethics,” I take up several works ...

Representing Idioms: Syntactic and Contextual Effects on Idiom Processing

Language and Speech, 2013
Recent work on the processing of idiomatic expressions argues against the idea that idioms are simply big words. For example, hybrid models of idiom representation, originally investigated in the context of idiom production, propose a priority of literal computation, and a principled relationship between the conceptual meaning of an idiom, its literal

Words and Idioms

2013
This chapter presents a constructionist analysis of words and idioms. It provides a summary of early constructionist research that argued in favor of viewing idioms not as anomalies, and addresses the problem of how the degree of semantic and syntactic irregularity of different constructions can be measured quantitatively.

Actor idioms

Proceedings of the 2nd edition on Programming systems, languages and applications based on actors, agents, and decentralized control abstractions, 2012
Actor systems are driven by asynchronous message reception events. Taking full advantage of the Actor Model requires recognizing relevant patterns of actor interaction. We describe several idioms here, in hopes of beginning to build a catalog of useful interactions. Some idioms simply implement already-familiar mechanisms, in terms of actors.
