How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure (2015)
Journal Article
González Fernández, B., & Schmitt, N. (2015). How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure. ITL, 166(1), https://doi.org/10.1075/itl.166.1.03fer

Many scholars believe that collocations are difficult to learn and use by L2 learners. However, some research suggests that learners often know more collocations than commonly thought. This study tested 108 Spanish learners of English to measure thei... Read More about How much collocation knowledge do L2 learners have?: the effects of frequency and amount of exposure.

‘Well I don’t feel that’: schemas, worlds and authentic reading in the classroom (2015)
Journal Article

Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being (2015)
Journal Article
Derclaye, E., & Taylor, T. (2015). Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being. Intellectual Property Quarterly, 1,

The Chicago School of the law and economics movement, on which the predominant justification for independent property rights is based in most countries, is flawed mainly because it takes economic wealth as the sole proxy for well-being. We suggest re... Read More about Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being.

Previous attempts to synthesise biblical texts’ usage of tw‘bh have associated the language with cultic concerns in Deuteronomy and Ezekiel or with ethical concerns in Proverbs. The reconciliation of these interests, especially in conjunction with a... Read More about What makes a thing abominable?
