A Linguistic Approach To Teaching English Phrasal Verbs

Summary/Abstract: Phrasal verbs, which are important features of English vocabulary, can be defined as linguistic units that are composed of a verb-preposition or a verb-particle combination. These linguistic combinations do not always reflect their literal meanings and this causes difficulties for students when learning phrasal verbs. This study aims to provide a teaching process which deals well with these difficulties. In order to reach this aim, a linguistic point of view in teaching phrasal verbs is presented, where linguistic motivations of phrasal verbs are introduced. During this process, Rudzka-Ostyn’s (2003) conceptual framework for teaching English phrasal verbs is used as a reference. This study, which brings forward the semantic features and cognitive motivations of phrasal verbs, is limited to phrasal verbs which consist of opposite particles such as up-down and in-out. In the study, first the semantic features and cognitive motivations of phrasal verbs are introduced. Then, sample activities to be used when teaching phrasal verbs are presented.
