by Bell, R et al published in Human Communication Research Vol. 14 No. 1
Fall 1987 pp. 47-67 ‘ Did you Bring the Yarmulke for the Cabbage Patch
Kid?. The Idiomatic Communication of Young Lovers.’ discussing idiom-formation
and idiom-use among romantically involved couples. As a matter of fact, years
ago this article inspired one of my students to start a project on
‘courting techniques’. She was obsessed with the idea of
‘real data’ and spent hours in ‘real’ places to record
the ‘real’ communication of ‘romantic(?) nature that her very
presence in such places was bound to provoke. Yet, and why it was so will
remain her secret, after a few weeks she decided to change the topic of
her M.A.. What I remember from those days is just two names and
titles you may find useful: Rubin, Z From liking to loving. Patterns of
attraction in dating and an old work by Duck, S and Gilmour Personal
relationships of 1981 (?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>I also remember a
multilingual dictionary of love and romance I saw in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1:place> a few years ago, in which the
organizing principle was that of script . Whose I don’t know as it
started with: Hi, I am Jack/Jill and ended with When shall we meet again?.
These two phrases bridged a very rapid river of flirtatious language inside.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
