摘要
Because of the obscurity of English preposition and the difficulties of acquisition of its abstract semantic knowledge,learners partly rely on frequently apperceived word co-occurrence(WCO)as collocational knowledge of prepositions.This study will explore the role and scope of frequency-based learning and its relationship to L2 learners’performance on prepositions.The data suggest that,for all proficiency levels,frequency determines learners’ability to acquire preposition and show a growing dependence on collocational knowledge among lower English proficiency learners.The paper will further propose implications for instructing English prepositions to L2 learners at different levels.

This study will explore the role and scope of frequency-based learning and its relationship to L2 learners' performance on prepositions. The data suggest that, for all proficiency levels, frequency determines learners' abihty to acquire preposition and show a growing de- pendence on collocational knowledge among lower English proficiency learners. The paper will further propose implications for instructing English prepositions to L2 learners at different levels.
