Insights into Phraseological Processing through Stimuli Modification: An Exploratory Eye-Tracking Study on Native Speakers and Learners of Italian
Collocations are one of the most studied types of word combinations.Their intricate nature, based on varying degrees of restriction, begs the question as to how modifications in their typical form influence the way they are processed by native speakers and learners.In this study, an eye-tracking experiment was carried out.We compared native speaker
