What does 'chunks of language' mean? Yes, I have. I 'm trying to learn the articals from 'BBC Learning English'. These are about how I should learn the language without dictionaries and grammar books, only - listening to. There is 'series is all about chunks of language'.

In linguistics, it means groups of words that form common phrases (e.g., "How do you do?"). The theory is that we learn these as if they were single, very long words: we don't form these phrases by thinking of each word individually and then grouping them.

chunk дословно переводится как ломоть. Из этого следует, что это какая-то часть языка ( граматика, аудирование, устная речь и т.д.). На мой взгляд это так.

There is 'series is all about chunks of language'. A "chunk of language" means a section ...for example phrases relating to time, or colours, or daily routine etc etc

It is close to mind that it means some kind of partitioning of a language. But I've found this article that could give some insight about it: http://whatsnewintheworld.blogspot.com/2009/05/chunks-of-language.html I hope that helps!
