Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

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.
