Phraseology: cotext, context and cultural contents

The aim of this paper is to show that most of the research on phraseology has focused in recent decades on the syntax that governs both internal and external combinatorics. The semantic analyses have been limited to semantism excluding co(n)text. In this article, we try to show how phraseologisms, as units of the third articulation of language, have the inherent semantic trait of a semantic incompleteness which complement cotexts and contexts. In addition, there is very little research into the cultural dimension.
