Summary
The purpose of this work is to present a classification of frozen expressions in Brazilian Portuguese. We established ten classes for 3,400 expressions which have free subject and only one verb. Each of these classes constitutes a Lexicon-Grammar table. To the distributionnal properties usually presented in the tables of Lexicon-Grammar we also added in each table four columns which represented semantic properties. This process enabled us to highlight some semantics regularities related to each class.
