Description
This book presents ample empirical evidence that making language learners appreciate the motivated nature of language can help them comprehend and remember many words and phrases. It explores the scope and pedagogical applicability of various kinds of motivation (such as figuration, phonological appeal, and cultural factors) and proposes classroom activities that tap into these long neglected resources.
Review:
This volume, one in a series of applications of congnitve linguistics, revolves around the importance of figurative thought and linguistic iconicity for vocabulary acquisition. Being mainly devoted to phraseology, it is an important contribution to an area in need of attention. For this reason alone, it is a useful resource for SLA researchers?in particular, for those involved in the training of language teachers.
