Call for Papers:

Phraseology, and English phraseology in particular, is probably one of the
most progressive areas of contemporary linguistics. Within four decades or so
it has moved away from the fringes of linguistic interest to which it was long
relegated due to the assumed unsystematic nature of its object of study to
step into the spotlight together with corpus linguistics (Gray & Biber
[2015]). While what Granger and Paquot [2008] called the “traditional approach
to phraseology” was mostly concerned with the narrow field of fixed idioms,
their collection and description, the advent of the distributional or
frequency-based approach based on language corpora and intertwined with corpus
linguistics has completely reconceptualized phraseology and further broadened
its scope (see Burger et al. [2007]). It has shown that speech is largely
composed of prefabricated, more or less fixed multiword expressions (MWEs),
variously labelled as collocations, lexical bundles, (continuous and
discontinuous) n-grams, formulas, etc. Central among the goals of
phraseological research are the extraction, identification and description of
MWEs and the analysis of their discourse functions and exploration of
phraseological register variation. Whether focusing on selected multiword
units or the whole set of these expressions in a corpus, register, type of
text, etc., the approaches are either corpus-based or corpus-driven. The
discovery of phraseological units of one type or another in every kind of
discourse is something linguistic theories have had to come to grips with.
Phraseology is the bedrock of Systemic Functional Linguistics (Ding [2018]),
but it also stimulated new directions in Cognitive Linguistics (Fillmore et
al. [1988]). The recognition that idiomatic expressions are productive, not
(necessarily) fixed structures which permeate ordinary language, is at the
core of such cognitive theories as Usage-Based Construction Grammar. The range
of contemporary phraseological studies is exemplified by the EUROPHRAS 2017
and 2019 proceedings (Mitkov [2017]; Corpas Pastor & Mitkov [2019]) and more
recently by Corpas Pastor & Colson [2020]. In addition to methodological
issues of identification and extraction, the papers explore a multitude of
other aspects, typologies, patterns and networks, computational
representation, cognitive modelling and processing, disambiguation, (semantic
and pragmatic) interpretation, to name but a few.

A similar rensaissance has been experienced by the subfield of phraseology,
paremiology. Transcending the stage of traditional non-linguistic approaches
focusing especially on the collection and categorization of proverbs,
paremiology has been firmly incorporated into linguistics (Norrick [1981],
[1985]). Taking stock of the present-day situation are such works as Mieder
[2007] and especially Hrisztova-Gotthardt and Varga [2015]. In fact,
paremiology as the study of proverbs as phraseological multiword units is ever
more profiting from language corpora and corpus linguistics just as the rest
of phraseology (see Steyer [2017]).

The n°19 issue aims for contributions reflecting the current trends in
phraseology exploration, addressing exclusively English phraseology and
paremiology and leaving aside contrastive aspects and comparisons with other
languages. The following broad areas of research are suggested for the papers
with no restrictions upon other related topics:
- methods of phraseology extraction and identification,
- representation and modelling 
- interpretation, processing and disambiguation of phraseological units,
- discourse functions of phraseological units,
- phraseological units and register variation.
