Sorry, I meant “semantically analyzable”, the sense of analyzability that is probably most common in cognitive linguistics. Of course we can talk about analyzability (and degrees of analyzability, à la Bybee) in morphology and syntax.

<div class="">Why is "red herring" not in any way<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">analyzable? As a native speaker, it feels like it has parts, although it is certainly not compositional. As speakers we know
how to pluralize it, and for example in a language with noun-adjective agreement that would apply consistently, including when pluralized. It seems to me this would have the same status as idioms, which also have parts (e.g. "kick the bucket" has a past tense
"kicked the bucket"). Of course my observation may just be that there is a very wide range of possible types of "analysis".</span></div>
