Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: Idioms - Cognitive and Didactic Aspect, language: English, abstract: Idioms are an important factor in native-like discourse by an English as a foreign language (EFL) speaker. According to Fernando (1996) 'the sheer number of idioms and their high frequency in discourse make them an important aspect of vocabulary acquisition and language learning in general'. Many linguists claim that idioms require special attention in language programs and should not be relegated to a position of secondary importance in the curriculum.However, classroom learning of EFL is - at least in Germany - not very concerned with the teaching of idioms and fixed expressions, as analyses from current and historical textbooks have shown. This results in the necessity for the teacher to make up own exercises or series of lessons to put the teaching of fixed expressions into the curriculum. The cognitive approach to language learning provides useful aspects and implications on how to organize idiom learning in a classroom context.The aim of our paper is to use the cognitive linguistics approach towards idioms and other fixed expressions in English to analyse different homepages on the World Wide Web. In order to do this we will first present a short survey of different cognitive approaches to idioms and their didactic implications for teaching exercises. We will then go on with an analysis of six websites with respect to how the content, structure and exercises follow the implications given by the presented cognitive approaches. After a discussion of the positive and negative aspects we found on the web, we try to give a proposition on how an idiom learning website could be structured and how exercises could look like, when they try to follow a cognitive approach. …

Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. Schriften zur Vergleichenden Sprachwissenschaft, Band 3 386 pages. When approaches linking language to other cognitive and behavioural phenomena, culture, the environment and society are flourishing, the strength and momentum of phraseological studies in recent years is hardly surprising given the nature of ist object of study. Fixed expressions include proverbs, bearers of timeless "truths", judgments or opinions which have become fixed in a given language and constitute products of a particular society, fixed formulae which, together with certain proverbs, are situationally conditioned and thus function as labels somehow typifying a given act in a particular society and figurative expressions (figurative language use is a prototypical feature of idioms and is also commonly found in fixed formulae, proverbs and compounds), motivated expressions that use certain relatively familiar or well known domains of life as a means of comprehending and expressing other domains, in particular where the latter are abstract, novel or taboo. This book brings together twenty contrastive analyses of proverbs, fixed formulae, compounds and idioms from different languages (including English, French, German, Spanish, Latvian or Ukrainian) demonstrating the relevance of such analyses to our understanding of the connections between language and extralinguistic dimensions of reality. On the basis of essential agreements in form and/or expressive power of languages" phraseological corpora to which these papers bear witness, they offer an examination of borrowing and calquing processes and of the similarities and differences that lurk within the phraseology of various languages used to conceive of and conceptualize such varied subjects as religion, leave-taking, the home or telling lies.…
