Abstract:

Approaching collocations from a usage-based perspective, this study
investigates how the development of collocational proficiency in first and
second language attainment could be explained. Against the background of
recent approaches in cognitive linguistics such as construction grammar and
Complex Adaptive Systems it argues that collocations should not be regarded as
idiosyncratic phraseological items, which, depending on their degree of
fixedness and semantic opaqueness, can be classified along a gradient of
idiomaticity. Thus, this study regards collocations as dynamic linguistic
phenomena, which could be seen as subject to constant change rather than more
or less static combinations with an additional level of syntagmatic and
paradigmatic restrictions. Furthermore it explores how creative changes and
alternations of collocations can be used to learn more about a speaker’s
cognitive processing of these phraseological phenomena and how this process
might be influenced by language external factors such as ‘age’, ‘education’ or
‘context’.
