The ability to use vague language ("bags of time", "doing stuff", "sort of thing", "and all that") is an aspect of communicative competence of considerable social importance. This volume explores the function of vague language in context. It spans genre analysis, critical discourse analysis, psycholinguistics and cross-cultural sociolinguistics, in a variety of world cultures. It suggests applications in TOEFL, asking questions such as "What should learners be taught to understand and use, and why?" and suggesting directions for future research.
Пособие делиться на параграфы, каждый из которых состоит из диалога, объяснения фразеологичкеских единиц, встречающихся в диалоге, с примерами из произведений английской художественной литературы, а также из системы упражнений на закрепление и активизацию фразеологических единиц. Упражнения построены таким образом, что они постепенно подводят студента к умению вести беседу по предполагаемому в конце тексту с активным использованием выделенных в диалоге фразеологических единиц.
Фразеологические единицы отобраны по принципу частоты их употребления в современной разговорнорй речи. Их можно употреблять в беседах на любую тему.
