Proposing a Statistical Approach to Idiomatics Phrase Research

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the limitations of traditional idiom studies and proposes a new approach based on statistical methods. Conventional research has often linked idioms simplistically to society and culture, but quantitative linguistics can identify flaws in such arguments and conclusions. This study employed quantitative lexical analysis to clarify the meanings associated with idioms, as well as the underlying linguistic systems and statistical trends governing their usage. By adopting a macro-level and dynamic perspective, this approach provides new insights into the relationship between language culture and idioms, yielding significant findings compared to previous studies.
