Description

The dual coding of input involves the presentation of both verbal and visual information. Research in cognitive semantics has shown that it promotes the formation of memory traces and consequently the retention of information. This study examines possible ways of integrating images and verbal descriptions so that both the comprehension and the production of idiomatic language are facilitated. The results of the study suggest that a combination of visual and verbal clues has a limited effect on retention of the meaning of fixed word combinations in the idiomatic language, but a positive effect on the recall of their linguistic form.
