Abstract:

Binomials, such as for and against, dead or alive, to have and to hold, can be
broadly defined as two words belonging to the same grammatical category and
linked by a semantic relationship. They are an important phraseological
phenomenon present throughout the history of the English language. This volume
offers a range of studies on binomials, their types and functions from Old
English through to the present day. Searching for motivations and
characteristic features of binomials in a particular genre or writer, the
chapters engage with many linguistic levels of analysis, such as phonology or
semantics, and explore the important role of translation. Drawing on
philological and corpus-linguistic approaches, the authors employ qualitative
and quantitative methods, setting the discussion firmly in the
extra-linguistic context. Binomials and their extended forms - multinomials -
emerge from these discussions as an important phraseological tool, with rich
applications and complex motivations.
