Sažetak
The study reported in this paper examines the metacommunicative setting of phraseological units and PU modifications in particular, using the corpus of naturally-occurring data in support of statements (BNC). The corpus data indicate that it is not only PUs that are signalled in the context by means of metacommunicative introductions or comments, it also applies to PU modifications. However, the metacommunicative setting used to embed PU modification is shown to have a far more complex function, as it not only serves as an introduction, but pragmatically as an alert to users that they need to make more of an effort to interpret the modified PU.
