A Corpus-based Study of Noun Collocates with the Preposition Over

The purpose of this paper is to examine the correlation between the semantic characteristics of the noun collocates taken by the preposition over and the meaning of the preposition over in the combination of over and a noun collocate. For this, collostructional analysis, one of the corpus-based quantitative methods that can measure lexicogrammatical attraction, is used to measure the interaction between the preposition over and a noun. Additionally, the nouns found in COCA were categorized using Wmatrix, and their correlation with the meaning of the preposition over was examined. The analysis results are as follows. First, through the semantic category analysis of noun collocate, it was found that the preposition over shows a higher association with the noun of an abstract concept that mainly conveys a metaphorical meaning. Second, the attraction in the construction is different even between words belonging to the same semantic category, and the degree of the attraction according to frequency is not necessarily proportional to the noun’s reliance on the meaning of the preposition over.
