Abstract:

Phraseology is often thought of as an anomaly and a headache for language
learners. However, researchers have tended to focus on just one end of the
scale: fairly fixed, conventional multi-word units. Here their special status
and any divergence from the standard form are clearly evident. What happens at
the other end of the scale? How much and what kind of variability does
phraseological patterning tolerate? Svetlana Vetchinnikova explores
meaning-shift units (MSUs) in second language usage, acquisition and
processing. Importantly, she argues for the value of looking at individual
languages and tracing MSUs as they are learned from exposure, used in
individual language output and processed in the mind - and advocates a shift
of focus from groups to individuals. This important study develops a unified
view on phraseological patterning in second language acquisition and use and
the processes which lead to it.

1. Introduction
2. From a unit of meaning to a meaning-shift unit
3. L2 use and processing of multi-word units
4. Triangulating usage, exposure and processing
5. Meaning-shift units in L2 learning and use: Usage vs. exposure
6. Meaning-shift units in L2 processing: Usage vs. word association responses
7. Toward the bigger picture.
