Title On “not going there” in the bilingual dictionary: the case of grammatical-word idioms
Abstract This paper considers the characteristics of a subclass of idiomatic English - namely, phrases constructed from strings of grammatical words (not including phrasal verbs) - and some of the issues these features raise for bilingual lexicography. There is a general discussion of the common features of such items from a lexicographical point of view, with particular reference to the production of general-purpose paper bilingual dictionaries. It is concluded that the problems associated with such linguistic items are likely to persist, recent powerful advances in language processing for lexicography notwithstanding, though ad hoc solutions may be reached.
