- W2185220402 abstract "How language, be it first (L1) or second (L2), is acquired has been the concern of much research and investigation, and perhaps no other phenomenon has witnessed such interest (Shormani, 2014b). One such area within language acquisition is collocability and how it presents a difficult aspect to L2 acquirers. This is so due to the fact that collocability involves formulaic language the mastering of which has been considered specific to native speakers of the language being learned. Thus, in this article, I propose a minimalist approach based on integrating syntax and semantics. The former concerns combining (collocating) two lexical items by means of Select and Merge operations, and the latter concerns what goes with what in a collocation based on feature specifications encoded on each lexis (i.e. word). My proposal is based on substantial evidence proving the availability of syntax and semantics in collocability, hence, abstracting from usage-based approaches. Thus, each collocation produced by Select and Merge (syntax) has to pass the semantic constraints manifested in the Collocating Feature Specification Rule (=CFSR). However, if this produced collocation fails to pass CFSR, it has to undergo acquisition once more in which parameters are reset and retri ggered through acquisition reorientation. The proposal places much emphasis on mental properties of Universal Grammar (UG), and the same is true concerning L2 acquisition settings in relation to providing L2 acquirers with equal linguistic input native s peakers have. The minimalist approach developed in this article stems from the fact that minimalism is seen as a theory, primarily concerned with language acquisition in its two spheres (i.e. L1 and L2). As far as L1 acquisition is concerned, minimalism sees it as acquiring only feature specifications manifested in parameters. L2 acquisition, however, is seen by minimalism, as merely acquiring features, peculiar to L2 being learned, which are different from and/or similar to those of the acquirer's L1, wher e the learner's only task is to reset and retrigger the UG parameters specific to L2, simply because UG principles are universal. Hence, our major task as linguists, language educators and teachers alike is how to make use of and benefit from the minimalist assumptions and hypotheses concerned with language acquisition in general, and those concerned with collocability in particular." @default.
