%0 Journal Article %T El uso de combinaciones de palabras con que en un corpus de aprendices suecos de espa ol como lengua extranjera %A Aym¨¦ Pino Rodr¨ªguez %J Anuari de Filologia : Estudis de Ling¨¹¨ªstica %D 2013 %I Universitat de Barcelona %X Previous research in phraseological studies has approached the difficulties that learners of foreign and second languages have to produce word combinations derived from idiomatic- or phraseological principles. Using the theoretical framework of Sinclair¡¯s idiom principle and applying a corpus-based methodological approach to contrastive linguistics and the study of interlanguage, I have analyzed the use of Spanish word sequences by Swedish learners. I argue that Swedish learners of Spanish as a Foreign Language overuse different word combinations due to mother tongue influence (Swedish), and as a consequence of different accommodation strategies in their interlanguage. The differences in function and frequency of use of these combinations decrease proportionally with the development of learners¡¯ knowledge and skills in the target language. %U http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/AFEL/article/view/5537
