This study aims at showing the difference between the verbs look at and watch by analyzing and comparing their meanings and collocations. From the BYU/COCA(The Corpus of Contemporary American English) program, the noun collocations which are strongly related with the verbs look at and watch are chosen and categorized for this purpose. This study shows that the verbs look at and watch have a similar meaning, like ‘the act of viewing’ that makes both words look similar and collocate with the same nouns; however, the meanings of the sentences which include the nouns are translated in a different way, and the preferred nouns of each verb are also totally different from each other. It's because of the fact that each verb has its own semantic characteristic. That is to say, the verb look at has its own semantic characteristic that it implies ‘to purposely direct your eyes at it’ and ‘to investigate(to consider, to check)’, so it collocates with something that is stationary. The verb watch, however, has one that it implies ‘to pay attention to it and keep it in sight’ and ‘to have care and supervision of, to look after’ and collocates with something which moves or changes as we view it. Through this study, it is found that the different semantic characteristics of look at and watch are reflected in each of the noun collocations directly. This study proves that the meanings of the words and their collocations are strongly related with each other; therefore, it's essential that one acquire the knowledge about the implied meanings and collocations of each word exactly to distinguish the synonyms from each other.
