phraseologist

A writer or speaker who coins clever phrases; One who is eloquent.

The author of Poetæ Rusticantis literatum Otium is but a mere phraseologist, the philological publisher is but a translator; but I expected better usage from Mr. Abel Roper, who is an original.

They have descriptive powers, write charmingly, and tickle our sense of profundity with high-wounding dogmas and moral theories, which seem, indeed, plausible enough; but on comparing the description with the work describe, we find, now unfrequently, that the eloquent and dainty phraseologist could not distinguish between ugly and handsome, valueless fact and vital truth, archæology and imagination, good painting and bad; and when we meditate on the moral basis of his aesthetical theories, we find them, in all likelihood, something one-sided, ungenial, contracted, ascetic; their evil influence being indeed traceable in the falsely cramped and rigid lines of the pencils led by them.

One who studies or collects phrases

Another correspondent, who has 'completed [his] education in the language of Tully, the philosophy of Voltaire, and the amplification of Dr. Johnson, the great Lexiconian phraseologist,' aspires to become the dramatic critic of the journal alluded to, and give the following taste of his quality:

At the other end there is the phraseologist's view that at least one member of the collocation has to be restricted (Howarth 1998b).

One who specializes in phraseological details of a field.

Two further aspects should be underlined: (a) the terminologist is generally also a 'phraseologist' and (b) the task of the terminologist is now recognised as a bona fide job within certain companies.

It is particularly problematic for the phraseologist to presuppose that a modification is properly understood when the reader has been able to work out all the elements/information that the phraseologist has detected in the modification, for it might even go far beyond what the producer, always under time pressure, intended in the first place.
