Adverbial Collocations for Conversation

Sanjay K. Jha

Abstract: This study hypothesizes that a language like English can be better learnt by learning it in collocational form rather than word form. Collocation, which is a vital unit of phraseology, is a natural association or grouping of a word particularly with another word (s) because words have cohesive nature or natural tendency of being grouped with particular word (s). Given this cohesive nature of words, this study identifies 50 adverbial collocations for daily conversation by EFL and ESL learners.
