TY - JOUR AU - Brink, Lars PY - 2005/03/08 Y2 - 2024/03/19 TI - Hvor mange fraser er der i dansk? JF - HERMES - Journal of Language and Communication in Business JA - HJLCB VL - 18 IS - 35 SE - THEMATIC SECTION: Fraseologi DO - 10.7146/hjlcb.v18i35.25822 UR - https://tidsskrift.dk/her/article/view/25822 SP - 161-181 AB - It is my intention to put aside all tiresome discussions of phrase terminology, take the terminology of Brink 2004 for granted, and produce some new empirical facts about phrases, answering questions like: How many phrases are there in Danish – in total and with individuals? What is the numeric relation between idioms and collocations? Are idioms most often metaphorical? The investigation is a continuation of Brink 1979, and an updated version of the largest Danish dictionary is used as a base from which test samples are taken. Some statistical signification tests are carried out with a favourable result. ER -
