Summary

The fourth chapter offers an overview and discussion of empirical examples of formulaic language in the data. This is important to draw out the characteristics of the linguistic structures that constitute the material analysed in remaining chapters. For example, it is demonstrated that conversational formulae that have in the past been studied in relation to cultural frames in fact only account for a marginal percentage of MWEs in the data. It is also established that over half of all MWEs in the data contain at least one variable position and as such the material investigated is markedly different from lexis.
