The term fixed expression refers to a formally quite heterogeneous group of expressions, such as adjective-noun collocations (e.g. heavy smoker), prepositional expressions (e.g. in spite of), verbal expressions (e.g. break the ice), dual expressions (e.g. black and white), foreign phrases (e.g. per capita), etc. The properties that unite them are that they consist of more than one word and are stored in the mental lexicon as one unit because their meaning is not always fully compositional.
