Moreover, this review reveals the developments and paradigm shifts occurred in this area. Previous studies have shown that the research findings have not been incorporated into classroom activities and English Language Teaching (ELT) materials. The paper claims that the number of research on the use of phrasal verbs in ESL textbooks is limited and, therefore, further research is needed to examine how phrasal verbs are treated in textbooks in order to help ELT materials developers to present these items more effectively based on research findings.  \nKeywords: Corpus-based studies, ESL learner, Phrasal verbs  \n1. Introduction  \nThere has been an interest in corpus analysis and its potentials in teaching (Cotos, 2014) as it is found useful “in virtually all branches of linguistics or language learning” (Leech, 1997, p. 9) . Corpus-based approach shows how English grammatical resources are used by learners (Biber, Conard & Reppen, 1994) and during the past few decades there has been a great interest on the corpus analysis of language features, especially phrasal verbs as they are the most complicated feature of language for ESL learners. An English phrasal verb or verb-particle combination (Fraser, 1976) consists of a verb followed by an invariable particle that functions as a single grammatical form (Quirk et al., 1985) or single unit of meaning (Narayanaswamy, 2004) . Darwin and Gray (1999) describe it as “a verb + particle combination that functions as a single verb, both parts giving up meaning in order to form a new lexical item”(p. 65) .  \n2. Overview of the Literature  \nTo present a clear overview of relevant research on phrasal verb constructions it is decided to split the studies into two main groups: focus on learner performance; and, focus on language materials.  \n2.1 Focus on Learner Performance  \nSome studies have concentrated on syntactic and semantic analysis of phrasal verb combinations (Lindner, 1981; Sawyer, 1999; Von, 2007) as Lindner ’s (1981) study focused on 600 verb particle constructions with Out and 1200 with Up to examine semantic structure of verb particle constructions. Framework of Langacker’s Space Grammar was employed to see if particles like Out and Up are meaningful in verb particle constructions and, therefore, these kind of constructions are analyzable. This study rejected the claim made by researchers like Fraser (1976) who stated that particles are generally not meaningful and, thus, they should be represented in the lexicon as arbitrary items and unanalyzable idioms (Lindner, 1981) . Lindner (1981) found that particles like Out and Up have many meanings and they contribute to the meaning of verb particle constructions.  \nA majority of studies on phrasal verbs have been concerned with ESL learners at different levels to see how learners avoid using them (Dagut & Laufer, 1985; Hulstijn & Marchena, 1989; Sjӧholm, 1995; Liao & ","cbCaiktAZ4Evx7qY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiktAZ4Evx7qY","pdf",165258,"English","# Introduction\n# Overview of the Literature\n## Focus on Learner Performance","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To provide an overview of research on phrasal verbs over three decades, covering theoretical and methodological issues and summarizing research findings.\"},{\"question\":\"What gaps does the paper identify in existing research and teaching practice?\",\"answer\":\"Findings have not been sufficiently incorporated into classroom activities and English Language Teaching (ELT) materials, and research on how phrasal verbs are used in ESL textbooks is limited.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper organize the reviewed literature?\",\"answer\":\"It splits studies into two groups: those focusing on learner performance and those focusing on language materials.\"}]","Flourishing Creativity & Literacy - A Review on Studies of Phrasal Verb Constructions in ESL Context | PDF",1792067691,15]
