The existence of formulaic patterns has been attested to all
languages of the world. However, systematic research in this field
has been focused on only a few European standard languages with a
rich literary tradition and a high degree of written norm. It was
on the basis of these data that the theoretical framework and
methodological approaches were developed. The volume shifts this
focus by centering the investigation on new data, including data
from lesser-used languages and dialects, extra-european languages,
linguistic varieties mostly used in spoken domains as well as at
previous historical stages of language development. Their inclusion
challenges the existing postulates at both a theoretical and
methodological level. Areas of interest include the following
questions: What is formulaic in these types of languages, varieties
and dialects? Are the criteria developed within the framework of
phraseological research applicable to new data? Can any specific
types of formulaic patterns and/or any specific features of regular
(already known) types of formulaic patterns be observed and how do
they emerge? What methodological difficulties need to be overcome
when dealing with new data?
