"The book draws on a lot of research, is friendly to the reader, and will be of good value to teachers." Paul Nation, Victoria University of Wellington, Australia This comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible text on idiom use, learning, and teaching approaches the topic with a balance of sound theory and extensive research in cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, and sociolinguistics combined with informed teaching practices. Idioms is organized in three parts: Part I includes discussion of idiom definition, classification, usage patterns, and functions. Part II investigates the process involved in the comprehension of idioms and the factors that influence individuals’ understanding and use of idioms in both L1 and L2. Part III explores idiom acquisition and the teaching and learning of idioms, focusing especially on the strategies and techniques used to help students learn idioms. To assist the reader in grasping the key issues, study questions are provided at the end of each chapter. The text also includes a glossary of special terms and an annotated list of selective idiom reference books and student textbooks. Idioms is designed to serve either as a textbook for ESL/applied linguistics teacher education courses or as a reference book. No matter how the book is used, it will equip an ESL/applied linguistics students and professionals with a solid understanding of various issues related to idioms and the learning of them.

The action packed adventures of Hush McCormick, the lovable boat bum who just can't stop himself from helping others, continues with Pig In A Poke, the third in the trilogy. One editor calls it a "wild ride" and another "the best Swanson has written to date." The saga follows a star high school athlete who takes everything for granted including the consent of the opposite sex on dates. In a thriller that crosses America to Mexico and Cuba, the reader is drawn to the drama through the eyes of the FBI, NSA and the thugs that threaten Hush's client as well as his own reputation. Says one reader: "A plot driven tale that would make Elmore Leonard proud."
