Realistic Goals in Teaching and Learning Phrasal Verbs.

Cornell, Alan

IRAL, v23 n4 p269-80 Nov 1985

Discusses acquisition of phrasal verbs by learners of English as a second language, and examines problems of selection, semantics, and usage restrictions of these verbs. Because even advanced learners have difficulties with these verbs, two groups of verb phrases are suggested: one for active use and the other for passive. (SED)
