Abstract
The quasi fixed phrase is situated between the fixed phrase and the free phrase. The research on the quasi fixed phrases mainly focused on a common format of the quasi fixed phrases to explore the use of law and historical evolution. However, there is little research on categories of the quasi fixed phrase, so this paper is based on large corpus and studies the homoatomic quasi fixed phrase, which is a special category of the quasi fixed phrases. The homoatomic quasi fixed phrase is a phrase that has the same fixed components. Through this study, we found that the fixed components of the homoatomic quasi fixed phrases will limit the POS of the replaceable components and the semantic relations between two replaceable components prefer to be similar or opposite. In addition, the frequency of the fixed components is related to the frequency of the phrase itself.
