The nativization of verb–noun collocations in Pakistani English
This study examines an under–explored feature of Outer Circle Englishes: the nativization of verbnoun collocations in written Pakistani English (PakE). Using a 5–million–word Pakistani Acrolectal Variety of English corpus, with the British National Corpus 2014 as a reference, statistically salient constructions were identified using mutual information and Log Dice. The analysis examines six entrenched verbnoun collocations: take notice, seek a re…

A Corpus Analysis of Non-Contiguous Phraseological Patterns in the Discussion Section of Microeconomics Research Articles
This study explores the non-contiguous phraseological profile of Microeconomics research articles, specifically focusing on key lexical frames within the Discussion section. Key lexical frames are non-contiguous recurrent expressions with variable slots unique to specific contexts such as genres or disciplines. The analysis is based on a corpus of Discussion sections from research articles published in four leading Microeconomics journals between…
An Exploration of Key Phrase Frames in Business Management Discussions for EAP Teaching
The interest in the phraseological nature of language generated many studies on phraseology in different genres. The focus of the current study is on key phrase frames in business management research article discussions. Key phrase frames are recurrent phraseological expressions with a variable slot and are specific to the studied context, for example genre or discipline. The analysis of the study is based on a corpus of research article discussi…
Profiling a microeconomics noun collocation list
Collocations are essential for language learning because using collocations naturally and accurately constitutes a key indicator of academic writing success. Past studies have examined collocations in academic genres and created lists of collocations for pedagogical use. However, studies that compile collocation lists often use a wide-angle approach to identify general collocations. There have been concerns about using general academic multiword …
A Corpus-based Analysis of Frequently Occurring Noun Collocations in Geographical Information System (GIS) Research Articles
The importance of collocations in language learning cannot be overstated, particularly with successful academic writing. Previous research on collocation compilation has focused on identifying and compiling lists of general multiword expressions (MWEs) found in academic genres for pedagogical purposes. However, the wide-angle approach employed by these studies may be insufficient for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, given certain form…
Modality in Spoken Malaysian English
The interest in Malaysian English generated many studies on Malaysian English focusing on various grammatical features. However, modality in Malaysian English is still under-researched, especially in post-independence and new Englishes contexts. As a new variety of English, it raises questions on how Malaysian English has developed from the historical input variety, i.e., British English and how resistant or accepting Malaysian English is to Amer…
A corpus-driven analysis of phrase frames in research articles on business management
With emerging developments in the use of computer and corpus-linguistic software to analyse language features and linguistic patterns, competent language users frequently rely on a stock of semi-automatic, prefabricated word chunks, rather than constantly creating new combinations of individual words. This has illuminated ways to improve academic writing among novice writers and students. Researchers have begun compiling academic expressions by d…
The Diachronic Malaysian English Corpus (DMEC)
Malaysian English (ME) has received much research attention in terms of its linguistic system, and use. In the last two decades, with the development of language corpora and corpus methods, research in ME as an Outer Circle and postcolonial variety increased significantly. These corpus-based studies are important and indeed interesting but they are limited to descriptions and discussions on contemporary ME, as they are based on synchronic ME corp…
Error Types in Malaysian Lower Secondary School Student Writing
The issue of English language proficiency among Malaysian students has always been a subject of ongoing discussion among educators. While English is taught as a second language in primary and secondary schools, many students, especially those from rural areas, have problems using the language correctly. Also, it has been said that students' English language proficiency in most rural contexts takes on the quality of a foreign language rather than …
