Abstract

Collocation learning is one of the important building blocks for the development of language competence. Remarkably, it is influenced by L1 and L2 congruency. The present study thus focused on the distinguishability of the computational similarity values between L2 collocates and L1 counterparts to establish the use of semantic similarity measure as a research instrument. The results showed that the inconsistency between human (subjective) and computational (objective) congruency classification of verb-noun collocations.
