Do we need a specific grammar for non-canonical expressions? A description and analysis of definitions of some NC constituents

Do we need a specific grammar for non-canonical expressions? A description and analysis of definitions of some NC constituents

Oro Cabanas, José M.

Needless to say that from a linguistic point of view a clear and cut distinction between canonical and non-canonical expressions is to be made for language explanations but especially for translation analyses, due to the fact that a good number of realizations belonging to the Gray Areas (GA) of language may arise from recurrent combinations of specific types of combined lexical items. The resultant lack of interaction between L1 propositions and L2 representations, identical or not, is often explainable and clarified by the Error Analysis (EA) method. Data collected and analysed here for this presentation have been chosen at hazard from different sources.
