Guidelines for extensive reading of ESP texts on the use of English for European business

Istvan Kecskes’ research revisits earlier proposals that language learning is, in essence, the learning of formulaic sequences and their interpretations; that this occurs at all levels of communicative competence; and that the language system emerges from formulaic patterns in language usage. It considers recent research in individual differences, the psycholinguistics of language processing. Whereby formulas help language acquisition yet learner language is formula-light in comparison to native norms.

Istvan Kecskes’ study is based on the suggestion that formulaic sequences are stored and processed holistically. However, the evidence for this hypothesis has not been conclusive. His study examines the representation and processing of formulaic sequences in two groups of participants, speakers of English as a second language who were tested with formulaic and nonformulaic phrases matched in database analysis. Istvan Kecskes, results show that nonnative speakers respond to the formulaic sequences significantly faster and with fewer errors than they did to nonformulaic sequences. The findings provide prevailing evidence in support of the holistic nature of formula representation and processing in second language speakers.
