This is the very first book to investigate the field of phraseology from a learner corpus perspective, bringing together studies at the cutting edge of corpus-based research into phraseology and language learners. The chapters include learner-corpus-based studies of phraseological units in varieties of learner language differentiated in terms of task and/or learner variables, compared with each other or with one or more reference corpora; mixed-methods studies that combine learner corpus data with more experimental data types (e.g. eyetracking); and instruction-oriented studies that show how learner-corpus-based insights can be used to inform second language (L2) teaching and testing. The detailed analysis of a wide range of multiword units (collocations, lexical bundles, lexico-grammatical patterns) and extensive learner corpus data provide the reader with a comprehensive theoretical, methodological and applied perspective onto L2 use in a wide range of situations. The knowledge gained from these learner corpus studies has major implications for L2 theory and practice and will help to inform pedagogical assessment and practice.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is an excellent overview of recent findings from the area of learner corpus research and phraseology. With valuable contributions from experts in the field, the volume provides a wealth of insights into the current methodologies and developments at the interface of corpus linguistics, learner corpora and second language acquisition. A very-much needed and timely resource for students and researchers interested in this fast-growing field. * Pawel Szudarski, University of Nottingham, UK * Sylviane Granger brings together a collection of cutting-edge studies by key researchers examining the use of phraseological units in learner corpora. The volume is engaging, accessible, and a valuable addition to the literature on phraseology. It should become an important resource for both graduate students and scholars. * Stuart Webb, University of Western Ontario, Canada * This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in learner language and the links between phraseology and acquisition. It curates cutting-edge work from many expert perspectives and showcases a range of corpora and methodologies. Most significantly, chapters go beyond describing and contrasting learner language, they address important second language acquisition research questions using learner corpus research tools. * Anne O'Keeffe, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland * ...this volume is a unique collection of high quality research on L2 phraseology, one for which it is difficult to find a substitute. The book is therefore a must-read for scholars and students who wish to know more about the most recent updates of research on L2 phrasicon. -- Mohsen Shirazizadeh, Alzahra University, Iran * LINGUIST List 33.170 *
