Title The motivational basis in the semantics of idioms and ways of its presentation in the computer data base
Abstract The meaning of most idioms Is associated with the underlying empirical image, which together with the syntactic structure of the idiomatic word-combination motivates this meaning. The motivation affects the denotation of meaning, its evaluative and expressive nature, and bears on its collocational and pragmatic potentialities. The paper discusses the principles of investigation and description of the mechanisms of idiom motivation and suggests ways of using the motivational features in computer technology for compiling dictionaries.
