Festeinband. Zustand: Wie neu. 227 Seiten : Illustrationen ; 23 cm, 399 g. very good copy -- Multi-word verbs are an essential topic in the English language syllabus. As a prominent feature of the language, with numerous semantic and syntactic peculiarities, they pose challenges even for advanced learners. Recent evidence-based pedagogical approaches to multi-word verbs have emerged from various fields of applied linguistics. However, it remains unclear whether these research insights are being implemented in classroom practice. This book addresses both issues. It begins with a review of research in corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and instructed second language acquisition, highlighting their relevance to the teaching of multi-word verbs. It then presents a new study on current approaches to the topic in mainstream language education, analysing language teachers' beliefs as well as content from popular textbooks. Based on these findings, the author offers a comprehensive view of the topic and practical applications for enhancing multi-word verb instruction. -- Contents: List of illustrations -- 1 Introduction -- 2 The scope of the phenomenon -- Introduction -- Definitions and classifications -- Perspectives on language -- A traditional view -- A cognitive linguistic view -- A working definition of multi-word verbs -- 3 Multi-word verbs in discourse -- Introduction -- The Longman Spoken and Written Corpus -- The British National Corpus -- The Corpus of Contemporary American English -- Liu (2011) -- Garnier and Schmitt (2015) -- Summary -- 4 Multi-word verb pedagogy -- Introduction -- Frequency factors -- Figurative language competence -- Action research in multi-word verb pedagogy -- Participants' characteristics and learning contexts -- Research foci -- Applying Conceptual Metaphor Theory -- Combining Conceptual Metaphor and Sociocultural Theory -- Applying Principled Polysemy -- Inferencing and verifying versus discovery learning -- Summary -- 5 Language teachers and multi-word verbs -- Introduction -- Methodology -- Sample population -- Materials for multi-word verb pedagogy -- EFL coursebooks and specialised materials -- Other materials -- Beliefs about multi-word verb pedagogy -- Responses to agreement Likert scale statements -- Responses to open questions -- Summary -- 6 Multi-word verbs in the texts of EFL coursebooks -- Introduction -- Methodology -- Alignment with LI English discourse -- Token frequencies -- Lemma-token frequencies -- Sense-based frequencies -- Summary -- 7 Multi-word verb activities in EFL coursebooks -- Introduction -- Methodology -- Quantitative analysis of the activities and target items -- Overview of the multi-word verb focused instruction -- Variables associated with target multi-word verb selection -- Qualitative analysis of the multi-word verb activities -- Didactic treatments -- Metalanguage -- Summary -- 8 Conclusion -- Introduction -- Key findings from the study -- Implications and applications -- Appendix I.
