14. Critical observations on the culture-boundness of phraseology

Annette Sabban | University of Hildesheim, Germany

This chapter argues for a more rigorous description of the culture-boundness of phrasemes, making a number of terminological proposals; also, for a clear distinction to be made between linguistic analyses and categorizations on the one hand, and claims to modes of thinking of the present-day speaker on the other, the latter generally being seen as belonging to the cognitive dimension of culture. A parallelism with two fundamental modes of existence of a group’s ‘cultural memory’ is identified.
