Idiom database

We provide access to linguistic analyses of 817 German idioms and light verb constructions. Analysis was done entirely by hand and based on corpus data taken from the DWDS Corpus. The results focus on morphological, syntactic, and semantic features of the „canonical forms“ as well as on deviations.
