Abstract:

This book takes a new and holistic approach to fluency in English speech and
differentiates between productive, perceptive, and nonverbal fluency. The
in-depth corpus-based description of productive fluency points out major
differences of how fluency is established in native and nonnative speech. It
also reveals areas in which even highly advanced learners of English still
deviate strongly from the native target norm and in which they have already
approximated to it. Based on these findings, selected learners are subjected
to native speakers' ratings of seven perceptive fluency variables in order to
test which variables are most responsible for a perception of oral proficiency
on the sides of the listeners. Finally, language-pedagogical implications
derived from these findings for the improvement of fluency in learner language
are presented. This book is conceptually and methodologically relevant for
corpus-linguistics, learner corpus research and foreign language teaching and
learning.
