A Comparative Study of Collocations in Interlanguage and Native Language:A Valency Perspective
Based on self-built corpora,this study compares the features of verb collocations at the levels of word classes,syntactic structures and words in interlanguage with those in native language under the valency analytical framework.The statistics show that the probabilistic valency patterns of verbs in interlanguage and native language are significantly different;the categories and probabilistic distributions of valency patterns governed by the same verb in the two corpora differ greatly;there are significant differences in the association strength between words in the same valency pattern in the two languages.The valency perspective adopted by the study has methodological and theoretical implications for the research on collocations at different levels of abstractness.The probabilistic valency patterns,including the combinations of different word classes,cover a wider variety of collocations;the item-specific valency patterns can solve the problem of overgeneralization of abstract constructions;the dependency relations between words in valency patterns can overcome the limitations of the extraction of collocations based on the linear locations of words.
