Formulaic time buyers for young foreign language learners
Multiword units of language, known as formulaic sequences, are pervasive and essential in communication (Wray, 2008). Although issues related to formulaicity have been under investigation in a
number of research studies (e.g. Conklin & Schmitt, 2008; Wood, 2006), the present study is different in investigating the functions of formulaic sequences in the
oral language production of young learners in the context of English as a foreign language. A class of 11 students (aged 9 to 11)
was observed and video recorded for 16 sessions (90 minutes per session). Following transcription of selected speech samples,
formulaic sequences were identified based on pre-established criteria. Analysis enabled categorisation of a range of functions for
formulaic sequences in learners’ oral language production. Results revealed evidence that formulaic sequences performed a variety
of roles in the learners’ language production. These sequences helped young language learners to improve their fluency, to
economize effort on processing and also to buy time for processing. A significant novel finding of this study was evidence that
language users might introduce dis-fluency in the production of their sequences in order to buy time for further processing.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
