Summary: Essential for Phraseology Students
Comment: As a PhD student in the field of 16th Century German phraseology I am delighted to have found this book. It touches on a variety of aspects of phraseology from the earlier East European research to more recent Western ones. Although the language, in some articles,is necessarily technical (as for instance Igor Mel'cuk's contribution) it is nevertheless written so that any student can benefit from this textbook. The various subjects, from definitions via functions and collocations, cultural significance, automated research and especially the significance in education, are clearly arranged. The article on Language and Culture by N. Teliya et.al. is of particular interest for my studies, bringing into focus a much neglected interdisciplinary connection between language and culture; between phraseologisms and the cultural prerequisites for understanding and using such. The section on Foreign-Learner Language addresses the need in language teaching to consider phraseology as part of the subject. A comprehensive up-to-date bibliography assists the reader in further research. The book is solidly bound in black [linen?] and pleasant to handle with clear typeface.
