| Summary |
This volume presents a comprehensive look at the phenomenon of formulaic language (multi-word units believed to be mentally stored and retrieved as single units) and its role€in fluent speech production.€ Focusing on second language speech, the book provides an overview of research into the role of formulaic language in fluency, details a study which provides evidence of that role, and outlines teaching plans and strategies to foster it.€ This important area has not been examined in such depth and scope before, and this work has many implications for future research and language. |
