ABSTRACT

The concept of "suspected misuse" was first put forward by Li (2016). This is a new term derived from the study of Japanese misuse published by Li (2017) in the following year. As is well known, the research on misuse and language misuses occurring in the process of foreign language acquisition plays a more and more important role in foreign language teaching. However, there have been many practical problems raised in the study of misuse as well as in language misuses in the past half century. One of them is the problem of "suspected misuse" to be discussed again in this article. “Suspected misuse” is observed in compounds or collocations that are produced by non-native speakers, and are not clear whether or not they are actually used in real life despite the fact that the combination of words correctly conforms to grammatical rules in the languageSuspected. “Suspected misuse" is usually not produced by elementary or intermediate level learners in the process of foreign language acquisition, but is a language phenomenon that can be produced by non-native speakers above the super-advanced level or some native speakers. By partially revising and supplementing the "suspected misuse" hypothesis in Li (2017), this paper reitrerates the necessity of introducing the concept of "suspected misuse" into the study of Japanese misuse.
