Abstract

I dedicate this review essay to the memory of the world-renowned researcher into international phraseology Elisabeth Piirainen, who left this world unexpectedly on 29 December 2017. Her outstanding scholarship and unmatched dedication to phraseology will serve as an inspiration to many present and future scholars. May her soul rest in peace!
