Formulaic expressions constitute a heterogeneous category, in that some exhibit robust re-combinatory
potential through modifiable and re-useable internal compositionality. Subcategories of linguistic politeness and
impoliteness items, which are generally formulaic, are analyzed with respect to subcategories that exhibit more
rigidity as formulaic expressions than is entailed by merely being formulaic. A classification scheme is used within
which it is argued that a closed-class category may be identified, and within which non-compositional expression
categories may also be noted. These, it is suggested, are strong candidate subcategories within the heterogeneous
category of formulaic expressions, for exhibiting holism.
