Abstract
Frequent content words in a mini-corpus of 131 Indonesian children’s
storybooks, which resulted in a corpus of 134, 320 words, were investigated. The result
was used to identify what English collocations to teach first to Indonesian preschool
children. The data were run through a collocation menu in MonoConc Pro, a corpus
program. To identify the frequent collocations in the corpus, the preceding and following
words from each frequent lemma were analyzed. All the data were calculated in terms of
the whole corpus and normalized per 100,000 occurrences. The result showed that the
children were already exposed to various collocations; however, it turned out that several
English and Indonesian collocations were not similar in terms of syntax and morphology.
Teachers cannot literally introduce those collocations to children.
