The present paper investigates the behaviour of the negative component of German VP idioms in the process of their text embedding. The data excerpted from the corpus of the 'Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts' ('Digital Dictionary of the German Language of the 20 th century') demonstrates a high degree of lexical variability and mobility of the negative component very similar to the negation in freely composed expressions, and the complete loss of the negation (affirmation) with maintenance of the idiom-specific idiomatic meaning.
