Some weeks ago I asked for information concerning phrases / idioms and the mental lexicon. I received a number of very useful mails. But unfortunately - due to a removal - I have been cut off from electronic communication. Therefore this summary reaches you with some delay. If you need further information - please contact me. I do apologize! Best wishes Udo Summary of recommended publications and own findings: - Ray Jackendoff: "The Architecture of the Language Faculty" (MIT Press, 1996) - Pate et al.
