Auf der Grundlage eines Korpus von 273 Fallen werden phraseologische Paarbildungen der franzosischen Gegenwartssprache, z.B. corps et bien oder de fil en aiguille, untersucht. Wahrend ihre morphologische Strukturierung sich als gut einsichtig erweist, wirft die semantische Analyse, das Kernstuck der Arbeit, die Frage auf, in welchem Zusammenhang die wortlichen Bedeutungen mit der idiomatischen Gesamtbedeutung stehen.
