> Abstract
>
> It is often assumed that idiomatic constructions involve 
> non-compositional meanings (Katz & Postal 1963; Fraser 1970; Chomsky 
> 1980, among others) or special syntax-semantics correspondences 
> (Jackendoff 1990, 1997a,b, 2002), but there are arguments that support 
> the view of those linguists who claim that idioms are compositional 
> (Marantz 1996: Nunberg et al. 1994).
> In this paper, assuming Hale & Keysers (2002) configurational theory 
> of argument structure, I shall focus on a class of idiomatic 
> constructions which can be found in both satellite-framed languages 
> like English and verb-framed languages like Catalan and Spanish 
> (Talmy 1985, 1991, 2000). This class shows various applications of a 
> lexical syntactic process of conflation depending on the different 
> lexicalization patterns being involved. Unlike in semanticocentric 
> approaches, I shall argue that this relevant crosslinguistic variation 
> must be expressed in syntactic terms.
> Furthermore, assuming Marantzs (1996, 1997) division of labour 
> between the computational system and the encyclopedia, Ill show the 
> relevance of syntactic argument structure in structuring the 
> compositional meaning of an idiomatic construction. This approach to 
> the study of idioms supports a distinction between syntactically 
> transparent compositional meanings and syntactically non-transparent 
> non-compositional ones.
