Collocation Errors

For English language practitioners, it is crucial to employ proper collocations for much more genuine, native-like, and prominent mastery of the language. In case that collocations are naturally netted within a language itself and across languages, this book is basically a lexical analytical study that explores collocation errors-made by majors of English and journalism- from three main dimensions: Firstly, collocation background knowledge of the native language (NL: Arabic) and the foreign language (FL: English); secondly, specific discourses (politics, education, and daily life); thirdly, based on a developed model of collocation categories (collocation range, collective nouns, compounds and binominals). This book takes a further step and provides a pedagogical framework that intertwines practical educational ideas with various and proper techniques so as to tackle the issue of collocation errors and encourage collocations build up. At the end, it provides a wealthy list of most common used collocations in different discourses and offers an exemplified list of collocation errors made by the participants of the study.
