Collocations in L2 child vocabulary

[elena lieven]

Dear Vicki
In the following study, small children are tested on collocations drawn 
from CDS to L1 learners. This may be of help to you
Bannard, C., & MATTHEWS, D. (2008). Stored Word Sequences in Language 
Learning: The effect of familiarity on children’s repetition of 
four-word combinations. /Psychological Science/, 19, 241-248.
Best wishes
Elena Lieven
