Chunks can be stored as a whole and extracted from the brain. The combination of figurative language and chunks complementary, which can help L2 learner๏ฟฝs better memorization and improve communication skills. But there are few studies on these two. By reviewing the concepts and classification of chunks and figurative language, combined with the research on the application of corpus linguistics, this research summarizes the connotation of figurative chunks that can be considered as prefabricated strings of coherent or incoherent non-literal language structures that are stored in memory as a whole and extracted directly. The review of the literature indicates that a) there has been research into metaphors, idioms, but few on other kinds of figurative language. There has not been a lot of research that examines such language from the perspective of lexical chunks and corpus linguistics, and also very few studies combined pragmatics; b) The concept of figurative chunks is proposed; c) providing translanguaging practices as teaching intervention can help students develop effective learning strategies, which can improve their figurative chunks comprehension competence and communication skills. |
