Abstrak

This study looked into the common noun collocations that go with the adjectives "good" and "great" in modern English texts. The goal was to understand how each word is used in different situations and to see how their meanings differ even though they are similar. The study focused on how often certain words appear together with "good" and "great," and how strongly they are connected using something called Mutual Information scores. It also looked at how these paired words can be grouped into different meaning categories. The study had three main questions: which nouns most often appear with "good" and "great," what kinds of meanings each adjective usually has, and how they are used in real language. The study used a descriptive and qualitative approach, looking at data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). For each adjective, the top 20 most commonly used nouns were chosen based on how often they appeared and their MI scores being at least 3. Then these words were sorted into meaning groups and studied based on where they appeared in sentences. The results showed that "good" is often used with nouns connected to social situations, moral ideas, and daily language, showing qualities like kindness, politeness, and getting along with others. On the other hand, "great" is more commonly used with words related to achievements, important events, places, or big things, showing qualities like being excellent, big, or meaningful. Some of these word pairings are idiomatic, meaning they don't always make sense when translated literally. Even though both words are positive, "good" is more often used in personal, social, and moral situations, while "great" is more common when talking about achievements or large-scale events. These differences are important for teaching vocabulary, translating words, and corpus-based linguistic studies.
