Abstract

Collocational knowledge is a crucial part of l2 vocabulary. While studies have shown that both delexical and lexical verb+noun collocations are difficult for efl learners, to date, there has been a lack of research investigating the receptive level of collocational knowledge of chinese tertiary efl learners. Furthermore, studies that compare delexical and lexical verb+noun collocation knowledge are limited. This research gap motivated the current study on chinese efl learners’ receptive knowledge of english delexical and lexical verb+noun collocations. To achieve the objectives of the study, this mixed methods study employed the collex 5 collocation test to measure the collocational knowledge of 90 chinese tertiary efl learners from the faculty of teaching chinese as a foreign language (tcfl) at leshan normal university.
