In Memoriam

The journal editors and the Department of English Studies at the Universitat Jaume I wish to pay tribute to our colleague, friend and teacher, Dr. Xavier Campos Vilanova who passed away earlier this year. Xavier showed a passionate enthusiasm for the study of the history of the English language and literature, but also for everything he did. From taking photographs, researching on the meaning of the number seven, to studying the history of Castelló – his home town –, he went deep into everything that touched his heart.

Xavier kindly accepted to supervise my doctoral thesis (Campoy) on phrasal verbs many years ago even though it did not fit his plans at the moment, since he was then deeply engaged in the study of Old English. I felt this issue on phrasal verbs would be a great opportunity to thank him for his generosity and open mindfulness. It is his wide smile and his distinctive laugh that could fill the room that we will always remember.

MULTIWORD PATTERNS: CONSIDERING PHRASAL VERBS AND THEIR UNDERLYING SEMANTIC SYSTEMS (I)

Aquest és el primer dels dos volums relacionats amb els patrons de paraules múltiples. L'enfocament principal d'aquests temes és el de phrasal verbs, amb un èmfasi especial en els patrons semàntics dels quals sorgeixen. Aquest primer número sobre aquest tema inclou cinc articles relacionats amb l'estudi de partícules en anglès com a part de phrasal verbs i en paquets lèxics. El tema aborda diferents perspectives en l'anàlisi i l'ús de phrasal verbs. La majoria d'articles adopten un enfocament cognitiu en la seva investigació sobre l'ús i anàlisi d'aquestes unitats. Dos d'ells, Navarro i Chung et al. també segueixen un enfocament basat en corpus en la seva anàlisi.
