It is generally accepted today that a language, especially its lexicon, influences its speakers' cultural patterns of thought and perception in various ways, for example through a culture-specific segmentation of the extralinguistic reality, the frequency of occurrence of particular lexical items, or the existence of keywords or key word combinations revealing core cultural values. The aim of this volume is to explore the cultural dimension of a wide range of preconstructed or semi-preconstructed word combinations in English. The 17 papers of the volume are divided into four sections, focusing on particular lexemes (e.g. enjoy and its collocates), types of word combinations (e.g. proverbs and similes), use-related varieties (such as the language of tourism or answering-machine messages), and user-related varieties (such as Aboriginal English or African English). The sections are preceded by a prologue, tracing the development of the study of formulaic language, and followed by an epilogue, which draws together the threads laid out in the various papers. The relation between language and culture in general has been explored in a number of important works over the past ten years. However, the study of the relation between English phraseology and culture in particular has been largely neglected. This volume is the first book-length publication devoted entirely to this topic. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v54. 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aLanguage and culture$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation 606 $aLinguistic geography 606 $aGroup identity$zEnglish-speaking countries 607 $aEnglish-speaking countries$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation. 615 0$aLinguistic geography. 615 0$aGroup identity 676 $a306.44 701 $aSkandera$b Paul$01040685 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454176003321 996 $aPhraseology and culture in English$92463749 997 $aUNINA
