Grammatical collocations verb+preposition in Spanish as a foreign language: descriptive and linguistic error analysis of learners of levels A2 and B1. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx.

This article informs of the findings of a study of Spanish as a foreign language learners’ corpus of levels A2 and B1 whose focus examines errors in the use of grammatical collocations of the type verb+preposition (GramCol v+p). Its aim is to determine and compare their frequency in writing according to competence and under location, descriptive and syntactic-semantic criteria. This study conceptualizes GramCol from a phraseological perspective, and is based on the models of Error Analysis, and Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis. The results show that the most frequent errors: (1) affect the whole collocation, (2) are of the addition type, and (3) concentrate on those units whose collocates alternate with others expressing the same meaning, and on those whose collocate may appear implicit. Moreover, the data point out a similar frequency in the errors of levels A2 and B1 regarding the three analyzed criteria. The method and design of this study contribute to the research of intermediate fixedness phraseological units, specifically in respect to the nature of errors that affect ColGram v+p.

Palabras llave : grammatical collocations verb+preposition; error analysis; interlanguage contrastive analysis; phraseological units of intermediate fixedness.
