| Research Abstract |
Phraseology is the study of fixed expressions, such as collocations, idioms, composite predicates, phrasal verbs, and other types of multi-word lexical bundles. In this paper, we examine the previous study conducted by Minoji Akimoto (1983). Akimoto classifies 262 verb and noun phrases (VN Phrases) into 40 groups according to eight grammatical parameters. We use the parameter of word origin to classify 251 VN Phrases into four groups, 50 percent of which are Germanic verb plus Germanic noun phrase, followed by Germanic verb plus French-origin noun phrase(32 percent), French-orign verb plus French-origin noun phrase (9 percent) and French-origin verb plus Germanic noun phrase (9 percent). We have the findings that Germanic verb plus Germanic noun phrases are highly idiomatic from the point of view of idiomaticity, while Germanic verb plus French-origin noun phrases are the least idiomatic among four groups.
