This study attempts to consider some aspects of adverb-adjective collocation in English. It explores the semantic properties of some adverbs and their collocating adjectives recorded in two collocation dictionaries, namely, Oxford Collocations Dictionary (OCD) and the LTP Dictionary of Selected Collocations (LTP). The central questions that have guided this analysis are: what exactly does an adverb do to an adjective in Adverb-Adjective Collocation? and what are the restrictions on the combinability of the two lexical items?
Perspectives on Formulaic Language - Acquisition and Communication
This edited collection draws together diverse international work on formulaic language such as idioms, collocations, lexical bundles and phrasal verbs. Formulaic sequences are more or less fixed word combinations such as idioms, collocations, lexical bundles, phrasal verbs and so on. Study in this area has grown over the past fifteen years, despite the fact that there are no academic journals or conferences devoted to this topic.
'Key Words for Fluency' concentrates on those words which students need to communicate in English. It emphasises those very common words which occur in lots of different contexts and identifies around 150 nouns which are essential for fluency. Each unit deals with one word and on average covers 20 of its most important collocations, teaching over 3,000 lexical items. Collocation is the way words combine with other words in predictable ways. Knowing strong and frequent collocations is essential for fluency.
