Formulaic sequences or MWE (multiword expressions) have been a locus of significant interests in the various domains of applied linguistics, yet have been limited to English education. In contrast to ample research findings of formulaic sequences in English, little is known about counterparts in Korean. Thus, this study aims to respond to a basic, fundamental question: what are formulaic sequences in Korean? For this, this study proposes a new method of finding formulaic sequences in Korean by integrating corpus linguistics methods and data-mining techniques. This study demonstrates how the new method could be implemented to find recurrent noun combinations from a large Korean corpus of newspaper, highlighting that the method allows us to locate MWE, which differs from previous collocation search methods in Korean. Also, this study illustrates how the extracted formulaic sequences can be used for pedagogical practices.
