由于母语的负面影响，许多英语学习者在习得英语搭配时遇到了困难。本文调查了两种不同母语的泰国英语学习者的英语搭配知识。他们都在泰国帕塔尼的法托尼大学攻读英语专业的国际课程。本研究旨在探讨母语对英语搭配习得的影响程度。39名讲帕塔尼马来语的人和39名讲泰国南部的人参加了这项研究。在接受性和产出性测试的基础上，分析了学生在词汇和语法搭配类别下的表现，并对12名学生进行了个别访谈。结果表明，两组学生在词汇搭配方面存在显著差异。
It has been claimed that, for many ESL and EFL learners, the acquisition of English collocations is particularly difficult due to the negative influence of the first language. This paper investigates the English collocation knowledge of Thai EFL learners with two different mother tongues. All are pursuing English major in an international program at Fatoni University in Pattani, Thailand. The purpose of the study is to explore the degree to which their first languages impact upon their acquisition of English collocations. Thirty-nine Patani Malay speakers and thirty-nine Southern Thai speakers took part in the study. Based on a set of receptive and productive tests, an analysis was carried out on the students’ performance under the lexical and grammatical categories of collocations, followed by individual interviews with twelve students. The results show significant differences between the two groups, particularly in lexical collocations.
