Re: two- word verbs
What exactly do you want us to do? You seem to have a well-planned start.

Re: two- word verbs
first of all thank u for your paying attention to me and my topic. what i want you to do is to share me your points of view regarding my topic especially if you know that my thesis is a contrastive one between my mother tongue and english. do not you think that other subjects are to be referred to and i wonder whether there is nothing irrelevant. i want you to know that i have to write no less than 90 pages in my thesis.
regards

Re: two- word verbs
What does Chapter 11 cover that hasn't been covered in the earlier chapters on idiomatic usage?

Re: two- word verbs
hi all,
regarding your question about chapter 11. actually it is not chapter 11; it is topic number 11 within chapter 1 and it is not used before as it seems to you since idioms is a different subject which has a relation with phrasal verbs. meanwhile, the idiomatic use of mwvs has something to do with meaning.

Re: two- word verbs
Other than phrasal verbs being idiomatic in meaning, I am sure that idioms themselves needs a section. Could you give me an idea of what you would include because I have a feeling the section might not be necessary.

thank you for your answer. i think so also but my supervisor asks me to refer to idioms as well since they have a relation with phrasal verbs. by the way, what about other subjects? do you think that there is nothing wrong with my plan. i do kindly asking you to consult professional grammarians regarding writing a thesis research on multi-word verbs. what should i have to include for this purpose? waiting eagerly for your answer.
regards,

Re: two- word verbs
If your supervisor says so, do it, but I am still not convinced that it is necessary. It is hard to givemuch further advice from just the titles, and vague ones. If you could give a brief outline of a section, it would be much easier to comment.

dear tdol i am afraid that there is a kind of misunderstanding between me and you. to avoid such situations i will ask you to put yourself in my condition.what will you do when you are about to write an MA thesis research on multi-word verbs.
thanks,
