Abstract

The present study analyzes the use of the frequent verb collocations in the KorSzak tanulói korpusz (KorSzak learner corpus) and compares them with the frequent verb collocations of the MagyarOK nyílt pedagógiai korpusz (MagyarOK open pedagogical corpus), and the huTenTen12 native language corpus. It investigates whether the foreign language learners use in their written performances the same verb collocations as native speakers, whether they use the right collocations, whether they overuse or underuse them. The study reveals and compares the lexicogrammatical characteristics of the frequent verbs in the above-mentioned corpora and describes the formal and contentual characteristics of these results.
