Abstract:

The aim of the work is the examination of the usage of idiomatic eglish verbs. Phrasal verbs are the derivatives derived according to the following pattern: V (verb) + pv (postverb) = Vpv (verb postverb). They are regarded as one more type of word formation. English phrasal verbs are divided into non-reversible, metaphoric, and metonymic.<br>Darbo tikslas yra idiominių anglų veiksmažodžių vartojimo tyrimas.

Abstract:

The phrasal verb is a unique type of verb phrase that consists of a main verb, usually of only one or two syllables, followed by a particle, that works as a single semantic unit. Such meaning, however, is characteristically expressed in idomatic terms, which poses a formidable problem for students of English as a second language. To be understood, this meaning must be figuratively interpreted as well as literally translated.

Abstract:

Phrasal verbs are a pervasive and distinctly Germanic part of the spoken English language that has been alive for centuries. They have preceded American history, and yet considered to be "the most active and creative pattern and word formation in the American language" (Meyer, 1975). Distinctly colloquial, idiomatic and varying in shades of literalness and figurativity, phrasal verbs are largely dominant in casual usage, such as conversation, while the Latinate verbs of English are dominant in formal usage, such as in making reports (McArthur 1989). While foreign educators and their students,

Abstract:

Formulaic language constitutes an essential part of English vocabulary and is necessary for performing a wide range of communicative functions, but knowledge and acquisition of formulaic sequences is typically found to be lacking and problematic for L2 learners. Whilst much research has been carried out on formulaic sequences such as idioms and collocations, comparatively little has been done on phrasal verbs which are nonetheless commonly perceived as one of the most challenging aspects of English vocabulary. This thesis attempts to contribute to filling this gap by exploring the usage, knowl

Abstract:

This study examines whether grammar instruction treatment, input processing, facilitates in learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) a distinction among sets of phrasal verbs containing prepositions. Input processing emphasizes difficult grammatical forms and provides a model for the behavior of the varying roles of phrasal verb prepositions. Such instruction follows three steps: (i) explaining the relation between a grammatical form and its meaning, (ii) informing learners of language processes that adversely influence the form-meaning relation, and (iii) implementing "structured input"

Research from previous studies has indicated that phrasal verb learning may be more effective if a Cognitive Linguistic approach is adopted. However, the quantitative and qualitative research in this dissertation demonstrates that the approach, once integrated into a regular, classroom-based EFL programme, does not consistently yield significant learning gains.

Much recent attention has been devoted to the semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic properties of phrasal verbs--those two-part lexical items like "put on" and "tighten up", along with suggestions regarding effective methods of teaching them to non-native speakers. According to Cornell (1985), phrasal verbs, "have been 'discovered' as an important component in curricula for English as a Foreign Language" (p. 1). However, it is very possible that they have become objects of current research primarily because of their complexity: their polysemy, their idiomaticity, their syntactic restraints, a com

Non sempre il nuovo significato è facilmente intuibile dall'analisi delle singole parti. Perciò i parlanti non nativi tendono a evitare i phrasal verbs preferendo ad essi altre soluzioni linguistiche che ricordano la propria lingua madre. Il presente elaborato si pone due obiettiv

Abstract:

Phrasal verbs are an intrinsic part of Late Modern English, and are found in both informal and colloquial language (check out, listen up) and more formal styles (a thesis might set out some problems and then sum up the main points). They are highly productive: 'up' can be added to almost any verb to signify goal or end-point (read up, finish up, eat up, meet up, fatten up); and once a phrasal verb has been coined, a conversion often follows (for example, the verb 'phone in' was first recorded in 1946, and the noun 'phone-in' in 1967; 'dumb down' was coined in 1933, and we read of 'dumbed-down'

Abstract:

ACette étude vise à apporter des réponses à trois questions fondamentales concernant la construction à verbe support : son identification, sa délimitation d’autres constructions qui partagent la même structure de surface et une révision de sa définition classique. Une fois identifié et défini l’objet d’étude, nous avons inscrit le verbe support dans le cadre théorique de l’emploi (G. Gross, 2012) qui nous a permis de l’aborder sous deux angles différents : l’étude contrastive français-espagnol et la traduction : sans oublier l’approche didactique<br>This study aims to provide some answers to t

Thesis (M. A. (African Languages) --University of Limpopo,2005<br>The study aimsat finding out thecategorical status of copulatives in Northern Sotho. This will be achieved by examining the morphosemantic features of various copulatives. From a morphological perspective, thestudy focuses on the following types ofcopulative verbs: ke, se, ba, le, na, and COP. The study argues that the foresaid copulatives are not particles but are fully-fledged verbs. As far as the semantic nature of the copulatives is concerned, the study discovered a variety of meanings associated with copulatives, such as

Abstract:

Part One of the thesis describes the theoretical criteria needed for identifying and differentiating phrasal verbs, including lexical boundedness, phrasal telicity, durativity, thematic structure and lexical <I>aktionsart</I>. It takes Vendler's (1967) temporal analysis of situations, as adapted by Smith (1991), and applies this to phrasal verbs. It outlines how the constructional approach of Jackendoff (1997) may be adapted to establish the status of phrasal verb combinations (are they stored or are they built?). It then proceeds to develop a lexical-semantic taxonomy of transitive phrasal ve

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the question of how the arguments of a given verb are linked to positions in a phrase structure. Through a study of passives, psych verbs, and ditransitive verbs in Japanese, it provides empirical support for the hypothesis that arguments having particular thematic roles are associated with particular syntactic positions systematically.<br>Chapter 2 deals with passives, in particular, two types of passive constructions, direct and indirect passives. Following some previous works, it is argued that the subject of a direct passive is generated in the same position as an

Abstract:

Verb-particle constructions are one of the most complex components of the English language. Understanding and producing such difficult constructs in a second language (L2) is a challenge for L2 learners of English. This research was based on the study by Blais and Gonnerman (2013). The purpose of the current study was to measure American and Saudi participants' sensitivity to the degree of semantic similarity between verb/verb-particle constructions. The survey of similarity ratings was administered to 107 American native English speakers and 67 Saudi English learners. The participants were as

Abstract:

Today, the physical capabilities of robots enable them to perform a wide variety of useful tasks for humans, making the need for simple and intuitive interaction between humans and robots readily apparent. Taking natural language as a key element of this interaction, we present a novel framework that enables robots to learn qualitative models of the semantics of an important class of verb phrases, such as "follow me to the kitchen," and leverage these verb models to perform two tasks: Executing verb phrase commands, and recognizing when another agent has performed a given verb. This framework

Abstract:

This study examines the emergence and development of the Cantonese serial verb construction (SVC) in children from 1;03 to 4;06 by investigating the naturalistic data from two longitudinal corpora. This study presents a descriptive account of the emergence and development of SVCs in early child Cantonese, seeks to explain the developmental facts from a constructionist usage-based perspective, and compares the development of SVCs in Cantonese-English bilinguals with that in Cantonese monolinguals. It is found that children start to produce SVCs spontaneously at an early age of 1;10 and
