Abstract:

Are collocations problems or solutions to problems? If you take the
perspective of the foreign learner, as in traditional phraseology, they are
certainly challenging, and they have therefore been categorized as arbitrary,
or even defective, deviations from an assumed norm of full compositionality.
This is a paradox because their ubiquity in language and their importance for
language proficiency are undisputed. The book provides a critical review of
the traditional phraseological approach to collocations with its classical
categories and its roots in structural and generative linguistics as well as
traditional Russian phraseology. Instead, it proposes a theory of collocations
as an independent functional domain, no longer characterized as “odd
comings-together of words” that are neither fully compositional nor fully
idiomatic. It fills a research gap and should appeal to phraseologists and
cognitive linguists as well as psycholinguists, neurolinguists, corpus
linguists, PhD-students and other advanced students of linguistics who are
interested in exploring collocations as a language resource and may be
interested in contributing to it.
