Abstract:

Formulaic sequences (FS) are now recognized as an essential element of
language use. However, research on FS has generally been limited to a
focus on description, or on the place of FS in L1 acquisition. This
volume opens new directions in FS research, concentrating on how FS
are acquired and processed by the mind, both in the L1 and L2. The ten
original studies in the volume illustrate the L2 acquisition of FS,
the relationship between L1 and L2 FS, the relationship between corpus
recurrence of FS and their psycholinguistic reality, the processes
involved in reading FS, and pedagogical issues in teaching FS. The
studies use a wide range of methodologies, many of them innovative,
and thus the volume serves as a model for future research in the
area. The volume begins with three survey chapters offering a
background on the characteristics and measurement of FS.
