Sažetak
Collocations represent a particularly important linguistic phenomenon for all language learners, which is reflected in numerous studies which approach them from both the phraseological and statistically-based perspective. To gain a better insight into various levels of collocational proficiency and to comprehend what factors may represent an obstacle for the foreign language learners, it is necessary to analyse the mistakes they make. This study represents a continuation of a research conducted among the students of Karlovac University of Applied Sciences (N= 52) in terms of analysing the mistakes made in the productive tasks of collocational proficiency in a questionnaire that tested both their general language proficiency and collocational proficiency. The aim is to see whether general English proficiency and congruence of collocations in L1 and L2 has an effect on the types of mistakes that the participants make and the most common types of errors for each level of general proficiency. The study included 20 collocation tasks (10 congruent and 10 non-congruent) which tested the productive knowledge of collocations.
