Abstract

On the basis that most first language formulaic sequences are acquired and accessed auditorily, this chapter argues for the fundamental importance of the prosodic representation of formulaic sequences in the mental lexicon. It also critically examines the suggestion that prosody can offer reliable cues to facilitate formulaic sequence acquisition and that second language learners' lack of exposure to spoken input may have led to their difficulties with acquiring second language formulaic sequences.
