'Martinez and Murphy (2011) argue that because some multiword units are at least partially opaque (it is not clear how the meanings of the parts make up the meaning of the whole), knowledge of the mean-
ing of these multiword units is important for language use. That is, we need to regard certain multiword units (probably a large number) as items that have to be known in their own right and regarded as part of the vocabulary knowledge needed to use the language.' Nation (2022)
