| Abstract This paper tries to investigate the relationship between collocation, colligation and semantic prosody as interdependent and overlapping notions or phenomena, which are often confused or misidentified by the majority of advanced learners at the university level and, even to some extent, by some academics in the field of English language teaching. At the outset, the three notions are explicitly defined with typical examples so as to draw a clear-cut distinction, and establish a well-defined characterization of each one of them. The core of the paper is focused on the semantic prosodies of the lexical item ‘vitally’ as cited by the British National Corpus. The paper also tries to reveal the nature of semantic prosodies of collocates which form lexical combinations (collocation) or grammatical combinations (colligation). In addition, we attempt to identify the type of each semantic prosody (positive, negative, neutral), the genre or variety and the text domains in which it occurs (leisure, social science, commerce. finance, applied science, imaginative prose, dialogue, monologue, etc.). | ||
