| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACTThe subject of collocation covers a wide range of linguistic peculiarity and mental intuition. Hence, it is urged that language teaching has much to gain from collocation studies, and mastery of collocation ranges constitutes a great deal to the mastery of foreign languages. The study hypothesized that collocation, whether grammatical or lexical, poses a real problem to the Iraqi EFL learners .The reasons behind the problem are multifarious , the most important of which are: 1) Lack of transnational equivalence between the mother tongue and the foreign language, a cause for literal translation 2) Overgeneralization, which leads to a great deal of incorrect collocation.3) Negligence by both the teacher and learner.4) Lack of experience in the target which results from the inadequate exposure to T.V. programmers ,newspaper ,magazines , etc. The study presents a comprehensive review of the literature of collocation followed by a full description of the test and an analysis of results. The results shows that the students’ performance of the recognition level is far more better than their performance. | ||
