How much of an expression’s meaning comes from the individual words that compose it? This collection examines compounds, particle verbs, referential phrases and idioms through linguistic theory, experiments, corpus evidence and computational methods.
Seven studies explore semantic transparency, the contribution of a compound’s head, novel word combinations, constituent variation and the processing of modified idioms. Examples from several languages connect formal analysis with the ways speakers understand and produce expressions. The complete 2020 volume includes its introduction, all seven chapters, references and index.
