Abstract
The discussion of mechanisms enhancing the acquisition of formulaic language (FL) has been flourishing in recent decades, progressing from describing the concept to revealing its use in various registers: spoken, written, and hybrid. With each domain of linguistics approaching FL in a distinct way, the book Understanding Formulaic Language: A Second Language Acquisition Perspective by Anna Siyanova-Chanturia and Ana Pellicer-Sánchez presents a more inclusive view of recent research contributions emerging from different fields, in addition to pointing to critical gaps that need to be addressed in future research. The appeal of the book is that it covers a broad range of topics related to FL, from theoretical perspectives to practical applications. This breadth of coverage is the first effort to foster mutual understanding among linguists and to emphasize its connection with second language acquisition (SLA).
第二语言习得视角下的“理解公式化语言”述评编辑:Anna Siyanova-Chanturia, Ana Pellicer-Sánchez;出版社:Routledge, 2019;ISBN: 9781138634978;页:278
近几十年来,关于加强公式化语言习得机制的讨论一直很活跃,从描述概念到揭示其在各种语域(口语、书面语和混合语)中的使用。随着语言学的每个领域以不同的方式接近FL, Anna Siyanova-Chanturia和Ana Pellicer-Sánchez所著的《理解公式语言:第二语言习得视角》一书对来自不同领域的最新研究贡献提出了更具包容性的观点,此外还指出了未来研究中需要解决的关键差距。这本书的吸引力在于,它涵盖了广泛的主题相关的FL,从理论的角度到实际应用。这种广泛的覆盖范围是促进语言学家之间相互理解并强调其与第二语言习得(SLA)的联系的首次努力。
期刊介绍:
Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching (ISSN 2083-5205) is a refereed journal published four times a year by the Department of English Studies, Faculty of Pedagogy and Fine Arts, Adam Mickiewicz University, Kalisz, Poland. The language of publication is English. The journal is devoted to reporting previously unpublished highest quality theoretical and empirical research on learning and teaching second and foreign languages. It deals with the learning and teaching of any language, not only English, and focuses on a variety of topics ranging from the processes underlying second language acquisition, various aspects of language learning in instructed and non-instructed settings, as well as different facets of the teaching process, including syllabus choice, materials design, classroom practices and evaluation. Each issue carries about 6 papers, 6000-8000 words in length, as well as reply articles and reviews. At least one of the four issues per year is a special focus issue devoted to a particular area of second language learning and teaching, sometimes with a guest editor who is an expert on a specific topic.
