Fixed Expressions and Idioms in English
By:Rosamund Moon,Honorary Research Fellow Department of English Rosamund Moon
Published on 1998 by Oxford University Press on Demand
This is a text-based study of fixed expressions, or idioms. Rosamund Moon's central argument is that fixed expressions can only be fully understood if they are considered together with the texts in which they occur. She provides an overview of this area of lexis in current English. Writingfrom a lexicologicalrather than a computationalpoint of view, she gives a detailed, descriptivist account of the findings of research into several thousand fixed expressions and idioms, as evidenced in the corpus text, including information about frequencies, syntax, lexical forms and variations,and metaphoricality. The author argues that examination of corpus text raises questions about many received ideas on fixed expressions and idioms, and suggests that new or revised use-centred models are required. Later chapters of the book demonstrate the ideological and discoursal significance ofidioms, paying particular attention to the ways in which they convey evaluations and have roles with respect to the information structure and cohesion of texts.
