"This volume, one in a series of applications of congnitve linguistics, revolves around the importance of figurative thought and linguistic iconicity for vocabulary acquisition. Being mainly devoted to phraseology, it is an important contribution to an area in need of attention. For this reason alone, it is a useful resource for SLA researchers?in particular, for those involved in the training of language teachers."Kirsten Haastrup in: Studies in Second Language Acquisition 4/2009
