The beginning chapters contribute to a constructional understanding of the quadri-syllabic SIEs and an in-depth distributional analysis of three typical schematic patterns based on natural corpus data. The following chapters present detailed reports on four experimental studies to account for the factors that play significant roles in the learning process of SIEs from adolescence to adulthood. In the final chapter, the author concludes that acquisition of SIEs is as an interactive process shaped by input frequency, structural complexity, internal semantic relation, and chunking effect of open morphemes at different age levels. These findings enrich current understandings on constructional idioms and the emergentist model in idiom learning with a cross-linguistic focus on Mandarin unique quadri-syllabic SIEs. Language teachers, researchers, and postgraduate students who are interested in studies of idiomaticity. Construction grammar and usage-based learning model will find this book sufficiently informative and intriguing. 410 0$aLiterature, Cultural and Media Studies 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aLinguistics$xMethodology 606 $aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar 606 $aLanguage Acquisition and Development 606 $aResearch Methods in Language and Linguistics 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage acquisition. 615 0$aLinguistics$xMethodology. 615 14$aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar. 615 24$aLanguage Acquisition and Development. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Language and Linguistics. 676 $a737 700 $aLi$b Liu$0864520 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910639897903321 996 $aQuadri-Syllabic Schematic Idioms in Chinese$93003298 997 $aUNINA
