Phrasal verbs across the spoken and written modes of L2 learner English (original) (raw)

Abstract

The present paper adds empirical corpus-based evidence concerning the real magnitude of the challenge that PV use presents, by investigating the PV production in written and spoken language of Norwegian advanced learners of English, thus comparing PV use across modes and for an additional group of English language learners. Four related research questions are addressed: 1) How often do learners produce divergent PVs? 2) Are there contrasting patterns of PV usage across the spoken and written modes? 3) Is there a correlation between divergent PV usage and figurative use? 4) Is there a correlation between divergent PV usage and L1 transfer?
