"phraseme"的定义和意义

What is a "phraseme"?

A phraseme refers to a fixed expression or group of words that has a specific meaning and is commonly used together. The meaning of a phraseme cannot always be understood just by looking at the individual words, as the phrase has a unique meaning when combined. Examples include idioms, set phrases, or collocations that people use frequently in everyday language. Phrasemes help make communication more natural and fluent, but they can sometimes be difficult for language learners to understand because their meaning is often figurative or cultural.
