That it should have come to this! The challenging phenomenon of insubordination |
Constructions that display the formal features of a subordinate clause (such as subordinating word order and use of conjunctions), but occur in a conventionalized main clause use have been termed insubordinated. The term insubordination has first been coined by Evans (2007), designating a mismatch between the grammatical structure of a clause and its actual use. In a more informal way, insubordination alludes to the fact that a particular sentence pattern is disobedient to its originally assigned grammatical (syntactical) function. |

Spilling some linguistic beans: On the syntactic flexibilty of idioms. |
While idioms have been of linguistic concern for quite some time, they have mostly been treated from a lexical or etymological point of view. For a very long period of time, idioms were simply regarded as inflexible word-like constructions based on dead or untransparent metaphors. Only relatively recently has the syntactic (in)flexibility of idioms caught the attention of the linguistic community. A body of research has been constantly growing on this long neglected area of linguistics (for example Gazdar et al. 1985; Nunberg, Sag, and Wasow 1994 and the references
cited therein). However, while a great deal has been written about the theoretical aspects of syntactic flexibility Nunberg, Sag, and Wasow 1994; Jackendoff 1997; Horn 2003), up to this date systematic empirical research, which would allow us to make reliable and quantifiable statements, has been rare. The present study was thus designed to help shed some much-needed light on the actual use of idioms by speakers. This paper thus aims at adding authentic language data to the theoretical discussion which then enables us to test the proposed hypotheses. |

The Syntactic Flexibility of Idioms |
The present study is concerned with the syntactic flexibility of English verb phrase idioms. It is argued that in order to explain the syntactic behavior of these constructions best, two aspects must be considered. First, the idiom in question must be decomposable, meaning that the individual parts must have independent meaning and second pragmatic reasons and speakers' motivations must be taken into account. The corpus-based study with nine verb phrase idioms and the its results support a speaker-based grammar model. Furthermore, some syntactic constructions can be generally ruled out for idioms. |
