Phraseologized Constructions on the Example of German and Slovak

Summary/Abstract: This study explores phraseologized constructions, a specific type of stabilized word combinations in which one or more obligatory components (anchors) are fixed while the remaining slots (fillers) remain variable. The variability of these fillers follows a frequency-based continuum, allowing for semantic classification and pragmatic function determination. The study builds on theoretical frameworks of construction grammar and phraseology. The article examines terminological differences across linguistic traditions, particularly in German-, English- and partially Slovak-, Czech- and Russian-language literature on phraseologized constructions. Our classification system is proposed on the degree of lexicalization and grammaticalization, distinguishing fully petrified, partially petrified, and open constructions. Special attention is given to corpus-based methodologies for extracting and analyzing these constructions, demonstrating that despite hypothetical openness, lexical variability is subject to pragmatic and usage-based restrictions. We propose a distinction and definition of a hierarchical defined sequence of terms phraseologized construction model, phraseologized construction, phraseologized construction pattern and construction phrasem. This research contributes to the broader understanding of phraseological variation and its role in syntactic and semantic structures and the research offers important insights into the functioning of language as a lexical-grammatical continuum.
