What is Cognitive Analysis of Chinese 2+2 Idioms about?

This thesis investigates the syntactic patterns of Chinese four-character idioms (FCIs), focusing on the 2+2 construction (AABB) and its interchangeable and non-interchangeable types. It provides a diachronic analysis of how these idioms evolve over time, examining their internal constituency and propositional act functions. The research aims to contribute to the understanding of FCIs by exploring the mechanisms of attraction, differentiation, and substitution that influence their development.
