“…One line of research in this area has focused on the use of multiword sequences (MWSs)—combinations of words that appear together highly frequently in a target language (Garner & Crossley, )—and on its relationship with proficiency (e.g., Nattinger & DeCarrico, ; Pawley & Syder, ; Wood, ; Wray, ; see Granger, , for a review). Findings suggest that more proficient L2 users have a better command of MWSs in terms of range, frequency, and sophistication (e.g., Durrant & Schmitt, ; Garner & Crossley, ; Kyle & Crossley, ; Paquot, ).
