New Trends in Applied Phraseology: Languages and Cultures in Comparison

Overview & Synopsis

This book explores the evolving role of phraseology across three interconnected domains—phraseography, translation, and language teaching—from a contrastive and multilingual perspective. Addressing the need for case-study-driven research that bridges theoretical and applied dimensions, the book explores the relationship between semantic and syntactic levels of meaning, cognitive processes, and cultural dimensions. The contributions highlight key challenges such as the representation of phraseological units in dictionaries, translation-related equivalence, and the role of context, pragmatics, and diachronic perspectives. The section on language teaching zooms on phraseology in acquisition and empirically grounded strategies that enhance learners’ phraseological competence. This book contributes to the broader field of linguistics, offering valuable insights for researchers and educators.
