The reverse of contextual resolution of ambiguity [...] consists in the capacity of a sign to evoke a context. The limiting case is the unique constituent: 'logan'- necessarily implies –'berry' [...]. But highly limited leeway short of uniqueness is also common. Thus 'addle', though it does not contain ‘egg’ or ‘head’ as an actual component of its designatum, nevertheless implies a collocation with 'egg' [...] or 'head', 'brain', or 'pate'. [...] This may be called phraseological binding or cliché formation.
