Embedded quotation as a factor of idiomaticity

The report examines one of the types of idiomaticity-embedded quotation.This type is peripheral and is implemented in a small set of idioms, slightly more than twenty elements.Idioms with embedded citations include, in particular, the expressions po samoye ne baluysya (lit.to the very don't play) 'to the maximum extent possible', po samoye ne kho-chu (lit.to the very don't want) 'to the maximum extent possible', na otskrebis' (lit.on fuck off) 'to do something quickly and badly', prikazat' dolgo zhit' (lit.to order to live long) 'to die', derzhat'sya na chestnom slove (lit.to keep one's word of honor) 'be poorly connected to the main part of the object', pod chestnoye slovo (lit.under a word of honor) 'to do something to someone or allow him to do something under the guarantee of this person', za Khrista radi (lit.for Christ's sake) 'to beg', [i] pominay kak zvali (lit.[and] remember his name) 'disappear without a trace', vot tebe / te[i] na (lit.here's for you) 'expression of surprise at failure', za spasibo (lit.for thanks) 'doing something for free ', za [prosto] tak (lit.for no reason) 'doing something for free' and some others.Embedded quotation is a relevant factor of idiomaticity, leading to the emergence of new idioms in the language.Embedded quotation as a factor of idiomaticity is directly related to the phenomena of quotation (citation) and generalized quotation (citation).The existence of generalized quotation in speech provides the very possibility of forming idioms, the idiomaticity of which is based on embedded quotation.This is a necessary intermediate link in the sequence: quotation-generalized quotation-embedded quotation.

Abstract

The report examines one of the types of idiomaticity-embedded quotation.This type is peripheral and is implemented in a small set of idioms, slightly more than twenty elements.Idioms with embedded citations include, in particular, the expressions po samoye ne baluysya (lit.to the very don't play) 'to the maximum extent possible', po samoye ne kho-chu (lit.to the very don't want) 'to the maximum extent possible', na otskrebis' (lit.on fuck off) 'to do something quickly and badly', prikazat' dolgo zhit' (lit.to order to live long) 'to die', derzhat'sya na chestnom slove (lit.to keep one's word of honor) 'be poorly connected to the main part of the object', pod chestnoye slovo (lit.under a word of honor) 'to do something to someone or allow him to do something under the guarantee of this person', za Khrista radi (lit.for Christ's sake) 'to beg', [i] pominay kak zvali (lit.[and] remember his name) 'disappear without a trace', vot tebe / te[i] na (lit.here's for you) 'expression of surprise at failure', za spasibo (lit.for thanks) 'doing something for free ', za [prosto] tak (lit.for no reason) 'doing something for free' and some others.Embedded quotation is a relevant factor of idiomaticity, leading to the emergence of new idioms in the language.Embedded quotation as a factor of idiomaticity is directly related to the phenomena of quotation (citation) and generalized quotation (citation).The existence of generalized quotation in speech provides the very possibility of forming idioms, the idiomaticity of which is based on embedded quotation.This is a necessary intermediate link in the sequence: quotation-generalized quotation-embedded quotation.
