paper corpusRLAtxt124 - : of its constituents". 'Phraseological unit' is another term that is increasingly used in phraseological research to denote a stable combination of words with a fully or partially figurative meaning (Kunin: 1970: 210), or a lexicalized, reproducible bilexemic or polylexemic word group in common use, which has relative syntactic and semantic stability, may be idiomatized, may carry connotations, and may have an emphatic or intensifying function in a text (Gláser, 1998: 125 ). According to Gláser (1984: 348), phraseological unit is used in some Slavonic and German linguistic traditions as a superordinate term for multi-word lexical items. 'Phraseme' is also used as a superordinate term (e.g., in Mel'cuk, 1995, but also in Slovene phraseological research, e.g, Krzisnik, 2010: 84), though not in the Anglo-American tradition. Other terms also encountered in the phraseological literature are multi-word lexical unit (Cowie, 1992), fixed expression (Moon, 1992a, Svensson, 2008), fixed phrase
