Collocations in a Flemish Learner Corpus: an approximation to the concept from a pedagogical perspective and its language teaching implications KU Leuven
Learning collocations through viewing KU Leuven
This research project investigates incidental acquisition of single words and collocations through watching TV. The project will explore whether single words are easier to learn than collocations.
Incidental collocation learning from different modes of input and factors that affect learning KU Leuven
Collocations, i.e., words that habitually co-occur in texts (e.g., strong coffee, heavy smoker), are ubiquitous in language and thus crucial for second/foreign language (L2) learners to master. However, previous research shows that L2 learners tend to have limited knowledge of collocations and underuse or misuse them.

Preparing for the introduction of exotic strains of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (i.e. of Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum and Ralstonia syzygii) – valorisation of culture collections and validation of diagnostics and methods for epidemiosurveil Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The so-called RSSC soil bacteria are known to cause wilt in potato and tomato and in certain ornamental plants, for example Pelargonium and Anthurium. The identification method for 'Ralstonia solanacearum species complex' (RSSC) is not yet totally established. RSSC has four phylotypes classified into three different species: R. solanacearum (phylotype II), R. pseudosolanacearum (phylotypes I and III) and R. syzygii ...

Ubiquitous in publishers offices and artist studios during most of the twentieth century, morgues have been a central aspect of cartoonists’ creative process for decades before online image ...
