Phraseology in English: Multi-Word Combinations in Context

The main audience for this book is expected to be language teaching professionals and EFL learners at different levels, although educators at all levels may find it useful. Over the last three decades, phraseology and the supremacy of multi-word combinations in various forms and labels have enjoyed a crucial role in understanding how the English language functions in terms of lexicality. The necessity of studying multi-word combinations has been advocated, and the inclusion of computational methods has been favoured by many leading linguistic specialists. Thus, this book is intended to introduce the lexical features of the English language to language teaching professionals and EFL learners worldwide through contextual examples. After a short introduction, the scope of the book is further extended to include English verbs with their most frequent complements. Each chapter offers literature connections related to phraseology, formulaic sequence, and lexical approach. Finally, a comprehensive list of multi-word combinations was added in the form of tables to support language teaching professionals and EFL learners inside and outside the classroom in their attempts to increase phraseological awareness.
