Resumen
[Abstract] Several recent studies have observed that texts of different quality and written by learners at
different proficiency levels also vary in the lexical combinations they contain. Such variation
can be operationalized by quantitatively measuring the association between the components of
these lexical combinations. In particular, pointwise mutual information (MI) has proved to be
a good predictor of proficiency development, as several studies on English learners’ writing
have shown. This paper examines whether association measures are also a good predictor for
the proficiency level of texts written by learners of Spanish, with a view to using such
information for grading lexical combinations in order to include them in a collocation dictionary
of Spanish. The study also investigates whether the association measures that correlate with
learners’ proficiency level can discriminate between phraseological collocations and noncollocations. Our results show that, whereas the MI of learner texts’ lexical combinations is a
better predictor of author proficiency than frequency, the latter performs better in identifying
phraseological collocations among the whole set of lexical combinations.
