Idiomaticity and functional variation: A case study of international amateur radio talk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 December 2008
Extract
The linguistic domain of idiomaticity poses many problems for the study of language form, use, and variation. With selected aspects of idiomaticity as a starting point, I will attempt in this paper to develop a description of the use of idioms as a segment of a more general theory of language use. Evidence for this approach is drawn from international amateur radio talk (IART) in English.
