The Idiom Principle in L2 English: Assessing elusive formulaic sequences as indicators of idiomaticity, fluency, and proficiency - Softcover
Language acquisition is at the heart of this book about ?formulaic sequences?, that is conventionalized and memorized combinations of lexis and/or grammar, such as TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, COMMON KNOWLEDGE and IN ADDITION. Researchers have in the last couple of decades, increasingly focused on the large store of and access to such sequences to account for the natural fluency and idiomaticity typical of our native language. The hypothesis of the present study is that L2 learners of English ? just like native speakers ? predominantly use the idiom principle (cf. Sinclair 1991), which involves retrieving a memorized language sequence. Apart from providing a theoretical background to the use and function of formulaic language, this book compares intermediate learners? and native speakers? use of formulaic language, with a focus on written production of L2 English. The main issues explored in the book are the quantity of formulaic sequences, the mistakes in such sequences, and the role of formulaic language in L2 proficiency. These results are of interest to linguists, language teachers, learners and others who are interested in language acquisition.
