Perspectives on Formulaic Language: Acquisition and Communication
Editat de David Wooden Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 feb 2010
Formulaic sequences are more or less fixed word combinations such as idioms, collocations, lexical bundles, phrasal verbs and so on. Study in this area has grown over the past fifteen years, despite the fact that there are no academic journals or conferences devoted to this topic.
This edited collection is an attempt to draw together the diverse international work on formulaic language. It features an introduction by Dr. Regina Weinert, a pioneer and expert in the study of formulaic language in acquisition. The authors have an international scope, from China and Italy to Armenia, Canada and Britain. The book is divided into three sections: Formulaic Language in Acquisition and Pedagogy; Identification and Psycholinguistic Processing of Formulaic Language; Communicative Functions of Formulaic Language. The topics of the papers are as varied as the geographic locations of the authors - critical discourse analysis, psycholinguistics, memorization, corpus analysis, specific languages such as Arabic, and even Beowulf and blogging language. This volume represents a step forward for the study of formulaic language, offering diverse, often previously unexplored perspectives from international researchers, advancing knowledge in innovative ways. It makes a fresh contribution the growing number of works on this topic and will appeal to researchers and academics working with formulaic language throughout linguistics.Toate formatele și edițiile | Preț | Express |

"The
new
millennium
has
seen
an
explosion
of
usage-based
studies
showing
that
formulaic
language
and
constructions
are
the
rule
rather
than
the
exception.
This
volume
is
an
important
contribution
to
this
growing
field
of
research,
directing
the
reader,
as
it
does,
to
an
abundance
of
new
prefabricated
patterns
and
sequences
of
different
degrees
of
generality,
from
abstract
schemas
over
frames
to
(semi)fixed
sequences,
and
in
a
wide
range
of
applicational
studies
including
memorization
and
processing,
developmental
L2
learning
and
textbook
design."
