习语有时被看作是一个组合的短语，其解释独立于单个单词的字面意思。在三个实验中，成语表征的性质进行了探讨与言语错误的启发任务。在任务中，发言者简要地查看成对的成语。在短暂的延迟之后，他们被要求产出两个习语中的一个，并评估他们的产出延迟和混合错误。第一个实验表明，具有相同句法结构的习语之间的干扰更大，表明习语表征包含句法信息。实验二表明，习语的字面意义在产生过程中是活跃的。这些对习语错误的句法和字面语义影响反对将习语描述为非成分词汇化短语。在最后的实验中，可分解和不可分解的习语之间没有差异，这表明这两类习语的词汇表征是相同的。
Idioms are sometimes viewed as unitized phrases with interpretations that are independent of the literal meanings of their individual words. In three experiments, the nature of idiom representation was explored with a speech-error elicitation task. In the task, speakers briefly viewed paired idioms. After a short delay they were probed to produce one of the two idioms, and their production latencies and blend errors were assessed. The first experiment showed greater interference between idioms with the same syntactic structure, demonstrating that idiom representations contain syntactic information. The second experiment indicated that the literal meaning of an idiom is active during production. These syntactic and literal-semantic effects on idiom errors argue against a representation of idioms as noncomponential lexicalized phrases. In the final experiment, no differences were found between de composable and nondecomposable idioms, suggesting that the lexical representation of these two types of idioms is the same.
