Using a corpus of data drawn from naturally-occurring second
language conversations, this book explores the role of idiomaticity
in English as a native language, and its comparative role in
English as a lingua franca. Through examining how idiomaticity
enables first language learners to achieve a greater degree of
fluency, the book explores why idiomatic language poses such a
challenge for users of English as a lingua franca. The book puts
forward a new definition of competence and fluency within the
context of English as a lingua franca, concluding with an analysis
of practical implications for the lingua franca classroom.
This in-depth study of English language learning using corpus data
will be of interest to researchers in applied linguistics and
corpus linguistics and to teachers of English as an international
lingua franca.
