Collocational Cometence & Language Proficiency

The book is based on a thesis on the relationship between knowledge of collocations and general language proficiency. It begins with the definition of collocation from a plethora of perspectives and unmasks its theoretical underpinnings and its relation to other aspects of linguistic knowledge. Then, it looks at the place of collocation in language pedagogy, reviewing a number of studies and ensuing suggestions provided by scholars in the field. Finally it reports on the study and its results.
