Although a range of different dictionaries is available to help students cope with any linguistic task, it seems that on average they prefer a single book for everything. Thus, it would certainly be helpful, if as many collocations as possible could be integrated in such a dictionary....
The study finds that: 1) Compared with native speakers, CEMs, in the St5 and St6 groups, display a salient tendency of overusing the collocations of the three DHFVs, however, they produce fewer collocational types with narrow semantic range.2) Though some of the collocations of the three ...
Collocational frameworks are discontinuous combinations of grammatical items which enclose lexical words (e.g., a_of in English). In this paper, the concept of collocational framework is applied to the analysis of five corpora of Spanish which allow comparisons across a range of communication ...
After briefly discussing the motivation behind this theoretical stance, this paper will present and discuss a range of strategies that learners can successfully employ to notice, store and actively produce the many multi-word expressions that make up the bulk of language in use. The relevance of ...

A new statistical language model is presented which combines collocational dependencies with two important sources of long-range statistical dependence: the syntactic structure and the topic of a sentence. These dependencies or constraints are integrated using the maximum entropy technique. Substantial ...
It was found that mimetic manner adverbials generally form a frame-semantically restricted range of verbal/nominal collocations than non-mimetic ones. Each mimetic can thus be considered to evoke a highly specific frame, which elaborates the general frame evoked by its typical host predicate and ...
The main issue under investigation is whether collocational patterns tend to be less diverse (i.e. reduced in range) in translated than non-translated texts. A pilot study is carried out with a view to examining the overall number of collocates and the distribution of collocations in relation ...
