Description

Explore the complexities of language with Rethinking Idiomaticity: A Usage-based Approach (Corpus and Discourse). This academic study investigates how native English speakers distinguish between idiomatic and non-idiomatic phrases, such as the difference between 'take the plunge' and 'write a letter.' By adopting a usage-based perspective, this work addresses the core question of which factors influence how speakers assess the idiomaticity of a construction. It stands as a groundbreaking study by being the first to combine a quantitative corpus-linguistic approach with quantitative judgement data. This methodology allows for a deep exploration of idiomaticity as a complex concept within linguistics. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and the cognitive aspects of language processing. It provides a structured way to understand the mechanics behind speaker judgements and the nature of linguistic constructions.
