Using Learner Corpora for L2 Lexicography: Information on Collocational Errors for EFL learners
Abstract
In this paper, we describe an on-going project of the corpus of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in Japan and its application for pedagogical dictionary compilation. We especially focus on the learners' errors in verb collocation patterns and describe how the learner's dictionary can benefit from the learners' error information based upon the learner corpora.<b>Keywords:</b> corpus, learner corpora, corpus linguistics, pedagogical dictionary, L2 lexicography, learner's dictionary, applied linguistics, collocations, error analysis, collocation errors, verb patterns, second language acquisition research, dictionary user information, usage column, negative informationCopyright of all material published in Lexikos will be vested in the Board of Directors of the Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal.
