APPENDIX 1: QUESTIONNAIRE ADDRESSED TO ENGLISH TEACHERS
QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT THE USE OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS (IDIOMS,
COLLOCATIONS, PROVERBS AND SOCIAL ROUTINE FORMULAE) AS PART
OF EFL TEACHING
According to Corpas Pastor‟s (1996: 20), we can define phraseological units as
multiword lexical units composed by at least two graphical words (and a whole sentence as its
upper limit), which are further characterized by a high frequency of coocurrence of its
components and by various degrees of institutionalization, such as formal frozenness, inner
fixation and semantic specialization or opacity.
Among them, we can find Collocations, combinations of words that present some
restrictions established by common usage (make bed, do a favour); Idioms, stable
combinations of two or more terms that function as a unique sentence element and whose
meaning is not deduced from the sum of its single words (pull sb’s leg); Proverbs, utterances
that constitute a complete text by themselves and that express a basic truth or practical precept
(Actions speak louder than words) and Social Routine Formulae, utterances that need to be
inserted in a specific context to make sense (I beg your pardon).
Please, answer the ten questions with your own words or, when it comes to multiple
choices, by making your choice red or circled. Thank you for your valuable help!
