What Do We (Think We) Know About Formulaic Language?

Cognitive Linguistic approaches to teaching vocabulary: Assessment and integration (2011, background): “…aforementioned CL ideas (especially CMT) to L2 vocabulary teaching (e.g. Danesi 1992; MacLennan 1994; Scott 1994) and some authors have gone on to develop resources intended to be in accordance with CL tenets for language learners (Rudzka-Ostyn 2003) and for teachers (Lindstromberg & Boers 2008a).”
