    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Collocations, semi-productive lexical combinations with one\nfigurative and one literal word, are said to be a “pain in the\nneck” for researchers and L2 learners. The present study aims:\n(i) to conceptually replicate the processing costs incurred by\nL1 speakers when processing collocations using a larger and\nmore diverse set of items, (ii) to use literalness judgements\nto test whether L1 speakers are aware of the semi-transparent\nmeaning of a collocation, and (iii) to test whether the presence of processing costs associated with collocations can be predicted from literalness judgements. If so, we propose that literalness judgements could be used as a diagnostic for reli-\nably identifying collocations. We replicate the L1 processing\ncosts with a larger stimulus set and demonstrate that speakers\nare aware of the semi-transparent meaning of the collocation.\nWe further show that L1 speaker judgements about the literal-\nness of a word combination can be used to predict its status as a collocation.",
