Por mí como si te operas. Constructional idioms of rejection from a constructionist approach

Ivorra Ordines, Pedro

Resumen: The present study explores partially filled idioms that go beyond the limits of the Spanish phraseological tradition, in that it focuses on semischematic patterns that had been relegated to the periphery and does not restrict itself to the pairing phraseological expression and lexicalized form. With a corpus comprising 592 instances extracted from the esTenTen18 corpus (Sketch Engine), the objective in the study of the constructional idioms [a PRON como si X] and[por PRON como si X] is twofold. First, to shed light on the “pragmatic point” (Kay and Fillmore 1999) of these discontinuous patterns by describing their rejection illocutionary force, their colloquial dialogic context, and their intensifying
speech act; and second, to delve into the lexical variability of the constructions under study in the intersection of creativity and extravagance.
