| adam_text | The Describing English Language series provides
much-needed descriptions of modern English as
it is really used.
Taking the revelations of recent research into
account, the series aims to meet the challenge
of describing linguistic features as they are
encountered in authentic contexts of use
in extended stretches of discourse.
The series examines significant changes now taking
place in our understanding of the English language
and considers their implications for language
learning and teaching.
Idioms and Idiomaticity
Chitra Fernando
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of
idioms and idiomaticity from a functional
perspective. The author discusses the use of idioms in
discourse to combine the novel and the conventional,
and considers ways in which idioms are utilized to
convey representations of the world, evaluate people
and situations, signal conviviality and conflict, and
create coherent, cohesive texts. Some implications for
language learning and development are also
examined. The analysis is based on numerous
examples of naturally-occurring data from the
author s collections and from the Bank of English.
Chitra Fernando was a Senior Lecturer at the School
of English, Linguistics, and Media, Macquarie
University, Australia until her retirements.
