Abstract
The correct and fluent use of phraseological units, such as idioms, collocations, or phrasal verbs is what differentiates the native from the non-native speaker. The present study focuses on the use of collocations, more specifically on adjective + noun bigrams by non-native English writers. This study is based on the analysis of two corpora, one consisting of 80 essays written by Croatian undergraduate students of the English language and literature, and the other consisting of 32 essays, written by English native speakers attending an American university. The results reveal that non-native writers tend to use more collocations with a higher t-score, while native writers tend to use more collocations with a higher MI value. When the results of the two corpora are compared, it can be seen that native and non-native writers use collocations of different strength on the collocational scale. Thus, the results of the present study confirm previous related studies.
Abstract (croatian)
Točna i tečna upotreba frazeoloških jedinica, poput idioma, kolokacija ili frazalnih glagola, razlikuje izvornog govornika od govornika kojemu taj jezik nije materinji. Ovaj se rad bavi upotrebom kolokacija, točnije dvopojavnic tipa pridjev + imenica koje su upotrijebili neizvorni govornici engleskoga jezika u pisanoj produkciji. Istraživanje se temelji na analizi dvaju korpusa, jednoga koji se sastoji od 80 eseja hrvatskih studenata na preddiplomskom studiju engleskog jezika i književnosti te drugoga koji se sastoji od 32 eseja engleskih izvornih govornika. Rezultati otkrivaju da u pisanoj proizvodnji neizvorni govornici engleskoga jezika obično rabe više kolokacija s višim t-rezultatom, dok se izvorni govornici češće koriste kolokacijama s većom vrijednošću MI. Kada se usporede rezultati dvaju korpusa, može se vidjeti da se neizvorni i izvorni korisnici engleskoga jezika koriste kolokacijama različite snage na kolokacijskoj ljestvici. Dakle, rezultati ove studije potvrđuju rezultate ranijih povezanih istraživanja.
