• Literal salience in on-line processing of idiomatic expressions by second language learners (2006, background): “claimed that L2 learners first process idioms literally and only then access their figurative readings (Liontas, 2002).”
• Effect of Frequency and Idiomaticity on Second Language Reading Comprehension. (2011, background): “In general, the participants in our study were less successful at guessing the meaning of idioms than those in previous idiom-centered research, such as Cooper (1999) and Liontas (2002).”
