abstract = {The present article reports on a study carried out among non-native speakers
of English as a foreign language who made use of a series of compensatory strategies
(circumlocution) when faced with unknown lexical items. According to the results, this
particular kind of strategies proved to be especially useful to solve gaps in communication
in order to keep the flow of conversation. From our findings, some pedagogical remarks
derive which point to the facilitative role of compensatory strategies as a tool to cope
with problematic vocabulary.},
abstract = {El presente estudio se centra en el uso que hicieron seis hablantes de inglés
como lengua extranjera de estrategias compensatorias (circunloquios) cuando tuvieron
que describir vocabulario nuevo. Según muestran los resultados, esta particular clase de
estrategias comunicativas fueron especialmente útiles para resolver dificultades léxicas.
Una serie de implicaciones pedagógicas se desprenden de nuestros resultados, las cuales
apuntan al papel altamente positivo de las estrategias compensatorias como herramienta
disponible para estudiantes de lenguas extranjeras al tratar de expresar léxico nuevo o
problemático.},
