| Summary |
<Html> <head><meta http-equiv=content-type content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-1""></head> <body> This is the first book-length publication devoted entirely to the study of the relation between English phraseology (i.e. the study of formulaic language) and culture. The contributions focus on particular lexemes (e.g. <EM>enjoy</EM> and its collocates), types of multiword units (e.g. proverbs and similes), use-related varieties (such as the language of tourism or answering-machine messages), and user-related varieties (such as Aboriginal English or African English). </body> </html> |
