Loin des yeux, loin du stéréotype ? ou Les liens entre un stéréotype lexical et les éléments figés faisant intervenir ce mot

subject

description

In this paper, a study of the links between the lexical stereotype of a word and the idioms containing this same word is proposed. French idioms related to the words œil/ yeux and oreille(s) [(eye(s) and ear(s)] enrich the original stereotype associated to these words, mainly through two strategies: either the idioms indicate that the stereotype is not confirmed; either they indicate that it is highly verified, in an exceptional way or degree. The study of the equivalent Spanish idioms confirms this working, as well as the nature and number of the strategies implied.
