• Presenting figurative idioms with a touch of etymology: more than mere mnemonics? (2007, background): “Our optimism is fuelled by studies which have yielded encouraging results with regard to learners’ ability to interpret figurative senses of polysemous words on the basis of knowledge of the literal senses of these words (e.g. Boers, 2000b; Csábi, 2004; Verspoor and Lowie, 2003).”
• Does pictorial elucidation foster recollection of idioms? (2009, background): “…of introducing insights from cognitive semantics (e.g. Kövecses, 1986; Johnson, 1987; Lakoff, 1987; Gibbs, 1994) to language pedagogy have often featured figurative idioms as the target for learning (e.g. Kövecses and Szabó, 1996; Boers, 2000; Csábi, 2004; Beréndi et al., 2008; Skoufaki, 2008).”
