Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An analysis of verb collocation patterns in English and Persian compares the system of verb collocations in English and Persian, predicts and evaluates the difficulties caused by the minimal differences in verb collocations. According to contrastive lexical approach to verb collocation, English has more choices in the construction of verbs than Persian does. English simple verbs outnumber those of Persian. Unlike Persian, English has a broad range of verb types. Above all, English uses verb collocations to paraphrase a verb; change register; elaborate on nouns; switch from the transitive restriction of a simple verb to an intransitive mode; and produce certain pragmatic effects to exercise formality and conciseness whereas in Persian verbs are generally governed by meaning. The use of verb collocations in English seems to be a matter of strategy to give variety to communication, whereas the use of verb collocations in Persian is a matter of necessity. Besides the classification of verbs, the book concluded that when EFL learners receive intervention on verb collocation, and are informed of the grammatical properties of verbs, they can feel at home with English collocations. 336 pp. Englisch.
