Description

how flexible are the orders of binomial expressions?

e.g.:

start and stop
husband and wife
mom and dad
day and night
apples and oranges
black and white

one or the other

general form:

noun AND noun

etc.

why are some "frozen" more than others?

# approach

- if you scrape (from some source?) a bunch of text for binomial expressions, you'd expect (by random chance) some sort of symmetric distribution of orders
- but in practice the distributions are skewed
- we could model this in some way 😄
- *why* are certain expressions frozen? utility? conceptualization as a single entity?
- be rigorous about how we consider different aspects of the expressions, like gender, meaning, concreteness, etc.
- possibly could examine "non-and" binomials ("a OR b", etc.)
- could look across different languages?
