1. Introduction

Idiomaticity has been traditionally regarded as one of the most complex linguistic phenomena. The discussion on the problem how certain aberrant idioms should be represented in and explained by regular frameworks has been the theme of a number of linguistic inquiries. By now, many extensive discussions have been published in which one can find the classes of idiomatic expressions and their features (e.g., Makkai 1972; Fraser 1970; Weinreich 1969). The purpose of the present paper is to try to compare four classes of idiomatic expressions of verbal ...
