This Element explores relationships between collocations, writing
quality, and learner and contextual variables in a first-year
composition (FYC) programme. Comprising three studies, the Element
is anchored in understanding phraseological complexity and its
sub-constructs of sophistication and diversity. First, the authors
look at sophistication through association measures. They tap into
how these measures may tell us different types of information about
collocation via a cluster analysis. Selected measures from this
clustering are used in a cumulative links model to establish
relationships between these measures, measures of diversity and
measures of task, the language background of the writer and
individual writer variation, and writing quality scores. A third
qualitative study of the statistically significant predictors helps
understand how writers use collocations and why they might be
favoured or downgraded by raters. This Element concludes by
considering the implications of this modelling for assessment.
