Description
Over the last twenty years, phraseology has become a major field of pure and applied research in Western European and North American linguistics.
This book is made up of authoritative contributions from leading specialists who examine the increasingly crucial role played by ready-made word-combinations in language acquisition and adult language use.
After a wide-ranging introduction by the editor, the book introduces the main theoretical approaches, analyses the corpus data and phrase typology, and finally considers the application of phraseology to associated disciplines including lexicography, language learning, stylistics, and computational analysis.
This book is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the subject to be published in English.
