Desfraseologización: tipología y ejemplos. El caso de la obra poética de Mario Benedetti

Abstract

This paper shows the importance and the complexity of unfrozenness taking as example the corpus of Mario Benedetti’s complete poetry. Unfrozenness consists in the manipulation of a phraseme (a non-free phrase) with stylistic purposes. A typology of unfrozenness must necessarily conform to a typology of phrasemes. Following Igor Mel’Äuk works, we distinguish two main families of phrasemes: the semantic-lexical phrasemes and the lexical phrasemes. Within this latter category, we distinguish between idioms and collocations. Given this typology we can analyze and classify the different defrozeness cases of our corpus that we present in four grammatical categories: nominal phrasemes, adjetival phrasemes, verbal phrasemes and adverbial phrasemes. We give a very large place to examples and we conclude with the draft of a typology of defrozeness that includes seven main types, such as replacement of a lexical component of the phraseme, morphological variation of a lexical component of the phraseme, etc.
