UNA SISTEMATIZACIÓN DE LAS PROPIEDADES DE LAS UNIDADES FRASEOLÓGICAS
A Systematic Approach on the Properties of Idioms

Summary/Abstract: Idioms differ from other lexical structures (single words, free combinations, sentences) by various features that can also be used as criteria for determining whether a certain unit belongs to this category or not. Some linguists speak of “phraseologicity”, defined in different ways and from distinct perspectives: either as idiomaticity, i.e. the absence of semantic compositionality, or as low translatability or stability. The hereby article presents both the main properties of idioms (fixation and idiomaticity) and other secondary properties, as found in scientific literature, also proposing a system of interdependences.
