A Well Respected Man

The Kinks

'Cause he gets up in the morning

And he goes to work at nine

And he comes back home at five-thirty

Gets the same train every time

'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality

It never fails

And he's oh, so good

And he's oh, so fine

And he's oh, so healthy

In his body and his mind

(…)

And his mother goes to meetings

While his father pulls the maid

And she stirs the tea with councilors

While discussing foreign trade

And she passes looks, as well as bills

At every suave young man (…)

Chunks

Chunks are groups of words that can be found together in language.

They can be words that always go together, such as fixed collocations, or that commonly do, such as certain grammatical structures that follow rules. A listener or reader uses their knowledge of chunks to help them predict meaning and therefore be able to process language in real time. Chunks include lexical phrases, set phrases, and fixed phrases.

Example

'Utter disaster', 'by the way', 'encourage + someone + infinitive', 'dependent + on' are all examples of chunks.

In the classroom

Areas of work such as idioms, collocations and verb patterns all focus on types of chunks. Learners can be encouraged to identify and record lexical and grammatical chunks as they find them.
