As an integrative component of textual structure, formulaic expressions (FEs) play a key role in communicating the message and comprehending the text. Furthermore, interlingually contrastive features of FEs add to their both significance and complexity of their instruction. Given these facts, this study was an attempt to explore a sound mechanism on how to teach FEs; whether an explicit or CA-...

The paper discusses formulaic language, its classification, function, and role in Aeronautical English. On the one hand, using idiomatic expressions aviation communication may lead to ambiguity, confusion breakdown. other teaching student pilots air-traffic controllers can have positive effect on their fluency help them develop interactive communicative skills.

The present paper aimed to explore pre-service English teachers’ awareness of formulaic language use. study involved 41 senior students who were enrolled in the Language Teaching Department at a state university Turkey. Data this cross-sectional was collected through form, which included three main parts. Firstly, participants asked write down words that come their mind concerning expressions, ...

Communicative language use largely entails regular patterns consisting of pre-constructed phrases or sequences. These sequences have been examined by many researchers to find the situation-based formulas which may help L2 learners follow a possibly more target-like speaking system. This study, therefore, explored two categories of formulaic expressions including speech formulas and situation-bo...

In this paper we attempt to determine the nature and strength of the relationship between the use of formulaic sequences and productive fluency of native speakers of Polish. In particular, we seek to validate the claim that speech characterized by a higher incidence of formulaic sequences is produced more rapidly and with fewer hesitation phenomena. The analysis is based on monologic speeches d...

Most contemporary approaches to linguistic modeling, influenced by generative grammar theory, emphasize newly created, novel sentences. Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness of the importance of formulaic language, including formulas, idioms, expletives, memorized speech, slang, conventional expressions, sayings, clichés, and proverbs. Review of linguistic descriptions, psycholinguistic ex...

In line with usage-based accounts, recent psycholinguistic studies have confirmed that frequency of occurrence impacts processing latencies for multiword strings (e.g., Arnon & Snider, 2010). However, these studies have not been concerned with the meaning of the multiword chunks in question, which is central to accounts of formulaic language rooted in cognitive linguistics (e.g., Wray, 2002). H...

Formulaic language units, ready-made chunks and sequences ofwords, have been the subject ofa large and growing body ofresearch. Although formulaic language has been largely overlooked in favor ofmodels of language that center around the rule-governed, systematic nature of language and its use, there is increasing evidence that these multiword lexical units are integral to firstand second-langua...
