English as a Lingua Franca: A Corpus-based Analysis

by Luke Prodromou (Author)

Synopsis

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. It examines how idiomaticity enables first language learners to achieve a greater degree of fluency.
