abstract:

This paper presents two different theoretical models of idioms and illustrates how the researcher's approach determines the treatment of figurative meaning, in particular the assignment of senses to idiom components. Corpus data are used to retrieve variant forms of kick the bucket to assess the degree of frozenness and relate the findings to the models presented.
