Phrases & pronouns

[Nicole Kuplenik]

Sorry, it was "sprouted", not "spouted" ...

Additional question: would a sign designating a fraction (one-third, two-quarters etc.) be a compound sign or two separate signs?

  Again, some questions have spouted in a debate ... Would someone be so kind to help with the following:

  1. What terminology is in use for pronouns in Sls? There is no difference between personal and demonstrative pronouns, at least in Slovene SL. 

  2. What is the definition of idiomatic signs? In Slovenia, mostly signs which can't be translated with a single (spoken) Slovene word are thought of as idioms, but I don't think that's quite correct (e.g. the sign EVERY-DAY or ALL-NIGHT-LONG). 
  And what would be the difference between idioms and compound signs (e.g. TEACHER, consisting of TEACH + PERSON)?

  TNX a lot!
