We will work on the exercises described in:
- "Collocations (Student).pdf"
- "COCA_Worksheet(student)-final.pdf"
Let's try the following.
- Find out which of the two forms below are more frequent in the COCA:
- digitized – digitalized
- comprehensive study – thorough study
- present research – current research
- Can do a study and make a study be used as synonyms? Look them up in the COCA to investigate how they are used.
- Using only the Academic part of the COCA, investigate the word work preceded by a verb in 1-2 positions to the left. Does it occur more often as a verb or as a noun? When it occurs as a noun, what are the most frequent verbs used with it?
- Again using the Academic part of the COCA, investigate which verbs usually precede and which verbs usually follow the word data.
