Collocazioni nella didattica del serbo come lingua straniera
Collocations in Teaching Serbian as a Foreign Language

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of a first year students experiment in class at the University of Turin. The aim is to arrive at conclusions on the effectiveness of the DDL-data driven learning in lexico-grammar learning at the beginner level. The first studies on corpora highlighted the tendency of words to co-occur with certain other words, creating collocations in the context of lexical-grammatical patterns. In the study of foreign languages, the lexical approach, that is, the study focused on collocations, and no longer on isolated words, is particularly significant. The grammatical component should not be studied separately, but always as an integral part of the collocations intended not only as semantic units, but syntactic and grammatical units as well. Using the corpora software for analysis, the students can be involved in the observation of all the elements that characterise a word as a semantic-grammatical unit: collocation, colligation, semantic prosody and semantic preference. Some research examples carried out in class, together with the individual work of the students that will hopefully stimulate the curiosity of those involved in teaching Serbian as LS, will be presented.
