Phraseology is often thought of as an anomaly and a headache for
language learners. However, researchers have tended to focus on
just one end of the scale: fairly fixed, conventional multi-word
units. Here their special status and any divergence from the
standard form are clearly evident. What happens at the other end of
the scale? How much and what kind of variability does
phraseological patterning tolerate? Svetlana Vetchinnikova explores
meaning-shift units (MSUs) in second language usage, acquisition
and processing. Importantly, she argues for the value of looking at
individual languages and tracing MSUs as they are learned from
exposure, used in individual language output and processed in the
mind - and advocates a shift of focus from groups to individuals.
This important study develops a unified view on phraseological
patterning in second language acquisition and use and the processes
which lead to it.
