It has been proved that language transfer occurs in all the aspects of L2 learning. This paper,with a focus on lexical collocations,adopts a corpus approach and attempts to address the long-standing issue from different perspectives.

But actually,it is the conceptual metaphor rooted in experiences of cultures that acts as a major factor in language transfer in second language acquisition. Finally,a few suggestions of collocations are offered to benefit English Chinese learners in their L2 learning.展开更多
