Abstract

Perhaps the greatest challenge to creating a research timeline on teaching and learning collocation is deciding how wide to cast the net in the search for relevant publications. For one thing, the term collocation does not have the same meaning for all (applied) linguists and practitioners (Barfield & Gyllstad 2009: 3–7). For another, items that are labelled as collocations in one study may be called something else in another study (Wray 2000: 465).
