A Literature Review of Corpus-based Research on Verb-noun Collocation

With the rise of corpus linguistics, corpus-based collocation studies have attracted the interest of scholars both domestically and internationally, yielding a wealth of research outcomes. Corpus linguistics takes real language phenomena as its research object and employs an empirical methodology, offering a new research perspective for linguistic studies. This paper provides an overview of corpus-based verb-noun collocation studies both domestically and internationally, aiming to elucidate their research characteristics and domains, while also identifying their shortcomings. This paper holds certain implications for further research on verb-noun collocations.
