Collocation is an important tool in describing lexical behaviour in
language and has received increasing attention in recent years.
Based on two corpora: LOCNESS (the Louvain Corpus of Native English
Essays) and MLC (the Non-English major Mainland Chinese Learner
Corpus), this book explores the features of Chinese learner English
with analysis of grammatical and lexical collocations. The findings
show that Chinese university students use collocations with
considerably less variety and Chinese language and culture exert a
substantial influence on their English writing. It also discusses
ways to tackle the problems Chinese English learners face and the
pedagogical implications for teaching English and learning English
collocations. As one of the first systematic studies to investigate
collocations in Chinese learner English based on learner corpora,
this book not only analyzes how Chinese learners use collocations
in their English writing, but also provides significant
implications for foreign language teaching and learning.
