Idioms in the Framework of Construction Grammar

In this final paper, the concepts of idioms, Construction Grammar, construction and constructional idiom have been presented and supported by various examples. Firstly, idioms are sequences of words whose meaning cannot be predicted from the meaning of its semantic constituents. Secondly, Construction Grammar is a grammatical framework which explores language and grammatical knowledge in forms of constructions. Constructions are pairings of form and semantic or discourse function present at all levels of grammatical analysis. Furthermore, constructional idioms are a particular type of construction with a partially of fully non-compositional meaning in which not all terminal element are fixed. Examples of constructional idioms, the let alone case, the way construction and the ditransitive construction confirmed the necessity for the Construction Grammar framework in the English language
