Abstract
The main focus of this thesis is the analysis of visualisations of English particle verb (PV) constructions. More specifically, we were interested in the strategies Croatian and Omani English speakers used to depict different PV constructions after being given their meaning. The first part of the thesis provides a theoretical background to key terms and concepts of this thesis: PV constructions, strategic construal, heavy and light verbs. The second part focuses on the results of the study, that is, the role of the semantic nature of the verbs (light vs. heavy) in PV constructions. More specifically, we focused on the frequency of topological and lexical determination in the PV constructions and their representations. Finally, we were interested in establishing potential differences in the way our participants depicted meanings as well as in the strategies used in the representation of the PV constructions based on the participants’ cultural background.
