Variability of Proper-Noun Idioms in Different Varieties of English
Original language description
The paper sets out to investigate the grammatical and semantic variability of selected idioms across different varieties of English, employing the cognitive linguistic and cultural linguistic perspectives. The analysis revealed that lexemes in idioms are prone to considerable variability in different English varieties. It was also revealed that the topic of the text, as well as the intention of its producer, played an important role in the process of modification. Examples of this kind of modification might be variants of the idiom Bob’s your uncle, such as Jah’s your uncle or Mao’s your uncle, as found in the NOW corpus.
