Phraseologismen als Textualisierungsmittel

Abstract

The objective of the following article was to present the results of a study evaluating among others the function of idioms preceding and closing text blocks, as well as forming a text frame in feuilletons of the »Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung«. The conducted analysis was to discuss whether idioms serve solely pragmatic purposes or whether they are also a means of text structuring.
