The paper investigates a case of phraseological derivation for the sentential idiom Da haben wir den Salat (there we have the mess). Corpus data show the development over time of a new verb phrase idiom jmd. hat den Salat (s.b. has the mess).
1 Corpus data were extracted by menas of the following queries: Salat && (haben || Haben) #cntxt 3; (*salat || *Salat) && (haben || Haben) && !@Salat #cntxt 3.
2 The corpus contains an additional example with an identical structure but without the idiomatic meaning.
