“…Wray (2002: part I) is a recent overview of definitions and models on formulaic phrases in general (cf. also Cowie and Howarth (1996) for a select bibliography on phraseology). The three most important changes in the view of idioms and idiomaticity concern the following three issues:…”

In early generative approaches, idiomaticity was equated with non-compositionality, and it was regarded as a binary concept, dividing language into idioms and non-idioms. Idioms were assigned only a marginal status in language. This paper summarizes findings from studies in discourse analysis, phraseology, and psycholinguistics that have shown that idiomaticity is better conceived of as a phenomenon that is multifactorial in nature, scalar in nature, and deserves a central position in any grammatical theory.

“…However, all word combinations are not considered collocations. As indicated by Cowie and Howarth (1996) there are four different types of word combinations -free combinations (e.g. eat an apple), restricted collocations (e.g.…”

Kolokacijska kompetencija smatra se važnim čimbenikom tečnosti jednog jezika. U Iranu su medicinski tekstovi uglavnom na engleskom jeziku, a studenti medicine moraju ostvariti 6 bodova iz kolegija Engleski jezik medicinske struke. Na tim kolegijima, osim engleskog jezika medicinske struke, trebao bi se učiti i velik broj medicinskih pojmova. Usporedili smo razinu kolokacijske kompetencije engleskog jezika medicinske struke prije i poslije polaganja kolegija Engleski jezik za studente Medicine 1 i 2 (ESM). Tri su skupine studenata medicine koji su položili kolegij Opći engleski (GE), Opći engleski i Engleski jezik medicinske struke 1 (GE i ESM1) te Opći engleski i Engleski jezik medicinske struke 1 i 2 (GE, ESM1 i 2) međusobno uspoređene. Ukupna razina kolokacijske kompetencije studenata bila je niska, što je ukazalo na to da kolegiji Engleskog jezika medicinske struke (ESM) nisu imali pozitivan učinak na njihovu razinu kolokacijske kompetencije. Štoviše, njihova ukupna razina receptivne kolokacijske kompetencije bila je veća od njihove produktivne kompetencije. Zaključeno je da unaprjeđenje razine kolokacijske kompetencije medicinske struke zahtijeva više vremena, eksplicitan naglasak na kolokacijama medicinske struke u učionicama i posebnu ponudu engleskog jezika medicinske struke kao zaseban kolegij, odvojen od medicinske terminologije.

“…A cursory look at the partial list of references we have come across and/or the bibliography compiled by Cowie/Howarth (1996) should be clear evidence of world-wide interest in the study of collocations, English collocations in particular. Obviously, this interest has mainly grown out of the feeling that learners of English as a foreign or second language, including advanced learners and professional translators, continuously stumble over which words go hand in hand with which appropriately (cf.…”

The Translation of Arabic Collocations into English: Dictionary-based vs. Dictionary-free Measured Knowledge

This paper compares the output of two translation tasks. In an attempt to find out the extent to which students of translation can translate Arabic contextualized collocations into English properly, two conflicting views about carrying out a translation task are tested. The first holds that avoiding the use of a dictionary in test sessions, though not in translation classes, would save time and yield better translation products, whereas the second contends that recourse to a dictionary is unavoidable at any translation task, including tests. The two opposing views have their corollary in a similar dispute which has already been settled in favour of the mental lexicon rather than the dictionary (cf. Rangelova/Echeandia 2001). The results of this study defeat the first claim and run counter to Rangelova/Echeandia's findings, though obtained from qualitatively a different test setting.
