Conceptual Networks for Cross-Linguistic Idiomatic Expressions:A Feature-Based Graph Approach

We present an interpretable network-based framework for representing idiomatic and figurative meaning across eight typologically diverse languages, totaling 160 conventional expressions, the large majority of which are idiomatic. Each expression is annotated with binary conceptual features (containment, concealment, emotional, social, etc.) derived from cognitive-linguistic theory, and pairwise Jaccard similarities define a weighted graph. Community detection reveals that idioms cluster by conceptual schema rather than by language, producing a structure consistent with cognitive-linguistic pre
