Opis

Over the last twenty years, phraseology has become a major field of pure and applied research in Western European and North American linguistics. This book is made up of authoritative contributions from leading specialists who examine the increasingly crucial role played by ready-made word-combinations in language acquisition and adult language use. This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the subject to be published in English.

Recenzje

Phraseology is a remarkable book. It is a valuable synthesis of historical and modern perspectives of a very rich field in the lexicon of a language.
