Abstract:

This study is devoted to the analysis of Italian idioms with either ordinary
or support verbs (also called light verbs). The research focuses on the
exhaustive description of idioms, and is based on their systematic
classification according to the principles of the Lexicon-Grammar methodology
developed by Maurice Gross (1975, 1979 and further). A thorough examination of
the literature shows strong disagreement on the acceptability of some
idiomatic constructions. For this reason, the Web was used as a corpus to
verify judgments on the supposed ungrammatical constructions. This approach
showed that idiomatic constructions which have always been considered
ungrammatical are instead perfectly acceptable if contextualized. The results
obtained include the following: passive is not a "special case" when it
concerns idioms, and idiomatic constructions show the same complexity as
non-idiomatic constructions.
