Abstract
This study investigates the corrections of Japanese collocations based on a judgment survey. It was administered to 72 native Chinese learners (CN) and 20 native Japanese speakers (JN). Participants were asked to judge the naturalness of collocations and provided the corrections. The results indicate that there are 4 types of corrections: EC (error usage to correct usage), EE (error usage to error usage), CC (correct usage to correct usage), and CE (correct usage to error usage). The study finds that CN have difficulties with Japanese collocations, especially when they are different from those in Chinese. CN's monitoring system and difficult points can be observed from their EE and CE corrections. The study also finds out the evaluation attitude of JN from their corrections.
