iberica-284	Silaski, Nadezda; Durovic, Tatjana	Of "siliconaires" and "millionerds"- How ESP learners understand novel blends in English	2013-01-02	22	.pdf	application/pdf	8251	300	44	Since our main goal was to check the potential of on-line processing of novel blends (as propounded by Conceptual Blending theorists) with ESP learners in order to determine the level of their understanding of novel blends and to see if non-native speakers of English approach the processing of blend meaning in the same way as native speakers do, we did not want the context to influence and facilitate their interpretation so the blends were presented in the questionnaire in an isolated way. The third finding is linked up with one of the most important problems in blend comprehension, the problem emerging at a phonological level, since phonological properties are extremely relevant in blending and the wrong identification of blend source words results in semantic and conceptual incomprehension.	cache/iberica-284.pdf	txt/iberica-284.txt
