Grammatical Variation of Lithuanian Formulaic Sequences

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses grammatical variation of two types of formulaic sequences: collocations and idioms. The formulaic sequences were automatically extracted from the DELFI.lt corpus. It was noticed that formulaic sequences are used in different forms that cannot be seen as simple inflections. Their grammatical variation was classified into the following categories: 1 Derivational variation: when one sequence has an affix and another one, which can be seen as its variant, has not. E.g., nutekėjo protai – protų nutekėjimas; ekonomikos krizė – ekonominė krizė; 2 Morphological variation: when number, gender or other grammatical categories vary. E.g., euro įvedimas – euro įsivedimas; iš pradžios – iš pradžių; vykdomasis direktorius – vykdantysis direktorius; 3 Syntactic variation: when the noun cases or prepositions vary, e.g., išskėstomis rankomis – su išskėstomis rankomis, other words are inserted, e.g., aistringas [beisbolo] gerbėjas, or word order changes, e.g., skirti dėmesį – dėmesį skirti.
