Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07
Abstract
Collocation is not easy for English learners as English has a complicated collocation system, making English learners confused in choosing the correct collocation. The aim of this study is to find the sub-classes, the most dominant type of collocation, and describe their meanings. The method used is qualitative research and applied Benson et al.’s theory (2010) which focused on the types of collocation. The data source is British news YouTube channels: BBC, Sky News, and The Sun. The result of the study shows that the most dominant type of collocation used is lexical collocation with the percentage is 59% while the grammatical one is 41%. For grammatical collocations, there are four out of eight sub-classes: G1 (noun + preposition), G4 (preposition + noun), G5 (adjective + preposition), and G8 (verb + preposition). Meanwhile, the lexical collocations are classified as six out of seven sub-classes: L1 (verb + noun), L2 (adjective + noun), L3 (noun + noun), L4 (noun + verb), L6 (verb + adjective), and L7 (verb + adverb). This study also described the meaning of each collocation. The way to get the meaning is by understanding the context. The meanings of the collocations used are mostly literal. This study can be a teaching reference by highlighting common word combinations and usage patterns.
