Description

Explore the complex process of language acquisition with this academic study from Bloomsbury. While native speakers use conventional metaphorical expressions like "John attacked Marys idea" in daily life, the way second language learners master these patterns remains a significant gap in linguistic research. This work addresses a specific need in the field of cognitive linguistics and theoretical semantics. While many studies focus on idioms, phrasal verbs, and proverbs, this book provides a systematic investigation into how learners acquire conventionalized metaphorical expressions. It is a specialized resource designed for those studying the performance of Chinese learners of English. By focusing on the acquisition of figurative language, this text offers insights into how learners bridge the gap between literal and metaphorical meaning. It serves as a valuable addition to the study of cognitive psychology and second language acquisition, providing a deeper understanding of how non-native speakers navigate the nuances of English expression.
