Quelques défis de classification des expressions idiomatiques du football en français

Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 42, Issue 4

Abstract

The article points out some challenges to classify the idiomatic expressions of football in French. It shows that the basic semantic criteria of compositionality and transparence, and therefore the distinction between collocations and idioms, are to be studied in relation with the football terminology, the context itself and the language register. These elements influence the transparence of expressions, effecting on the category within the collocations (regular, transparent, opaque) and can even result in changes between the main groups of collocations and idioms.
