Abstract

The article proposes a critical survey on the role of phraseology within the current panorama of computational approaches to literary texts. In particular, the article traces the trans- formations of phraseology from a traditional notion of fixed sequences and binary collocations (Hausmann 1979) into one of “pragmatemes” (Feilke 1996) and extended polylexical sequences (Sinclair 2004). The latter are essential for the construction and perception of literariness (Jako- bson 1921) as the specificity of literary language is considered to reside in a certain adherence to genre-internal conventions of idiomaticity. In this view, “the creativity principle” (Siepman 2011) can be seen as derived from the statistical relevance of specific language features that distinguish text types according to recurring lexico-grammatical patterns. Based on these premises, the article illustrates some examples of phraseological analysis applied to fiction writing and, more specifi- cally, to the computational study of the novel genre (Novakova & Siepmann 2020). The aim is to demonstrate the didactic potential of such tools and contributions to improve L2 teaching method- ologies through literature. Likewise, the article shows how the integration between linguistic data and literary hermeneutics can actually be crucial for the advancement of textual humanities and computational criticism.
