A Study on Colligations of BE in Chinese EFL Learners’ Written Production, by LI Xinli, p.6

This study attempts to examine the colligational use of BE in Chinese EFL learners’ written production in the corpus-based CIA approach. It is found that Chinese EFL learners underuse the inflected forms of BE, they use much smaller variety of different types of colligations and they heavily resort to static verbs in their colligations; besides, the colligations of passive structure are not found in their top sequences. It is also found that the use of BE is correlated with the learners’ L2 proficiency. High-proficiency learners tend to underuse BE and the realizations of their colligations resemble chunks. Learners of different levels are found to have difficulty with the colligational combination of aspects and voices. The reasons are found to be related with L1 transfer, language teaching and the avoidance strategy. The method of extracting colligations in this study may be beneficial to corpus-based studies of colligations.
