Abstract:

Collocations are both pervasive in language and difficult for language
learners, even at an advanced level. In this book, these difficulties are
for the first time comprehensively investigated. On the basis of a learner
corpus, idiosyncratic collocation use by learners is uncovered, the
building material of learner collocations examined, and the factors that
contribute to the difficulty of certain groups of collocations identified.
An extensive discussion of the implications of the results for the foreign
language classroom is also presented, and the contentious issue of the
relation of corpus linguistic research and language teaching is thus
extended to learner corpus analysis.
