this paper I first explain briefly the properties ofone type ofMuIti-Word Expression (MWE), viz., flexible idioms, and how they are dealt with in the Rosetta machine translation system. Taking this as a starting point and generalizing beyond it, I argue that a standardized lexical representation for flexible idioms is not so straightforward. Nevertheless, I make a very concrete proposal for an ...

ON THE SYSTEMATIC ASPECT OF IDIOMS Martha McGinnis University of Calgary It has traditionally been assumed that the meaning of some or all phrasal idioms is noncompositional. However, I will argue here that the aspectual meaning of idioms is completely systematic: there are no special aspectual restrictions on idioms, and moreover, the aspect of an idiom is compositional, combining the aspectua...

In this work-in-progress paper, we extract a set of curation idioms from a five-year corpus of hand-written SQL queries collected from a Database-as-a-Service platform called SQLShare. The idioms we discover in the corpus include structural manipulation tasks (e.g., vertical and horizontal recomposition), schema manipulation tasks (e.g., column renaming and reordering), and value manipulation t...

Idioms are a big part of languages but can cause trouble for communication, especially for non-native speakers of a language. Interpreting idioms correctly means that one must derive a figurative meaning from words that individually mean something else. Recent research primarily focuses on the impact of context for successful idiom comprehension and seems to prioritize native speakers’ understa...

In Software Product Lines (SPL), we can bind reusable features to compose a product at different times, which in general are static or dynamic. The former allows customizability without any overhead at runtime. On the other hand, the latter allows feature activation or deactivation while running the application with the cost of performance and memory consumption. To implement features, we might...

1. Idioms are constructions 1.1 Idioms in the Chomskyan paradigm Croft and Cruse (2004:225) describe the role of idioms in construction grammar as follows: “It is not an exaggeration to say that construction grammar grew out of a concern to find a place for idiomatic expressions in the speaker’s knowledge of a grammar of their language”. The reason for this focus on idioms in early construction...
