This study used cognitive semantic point of view to find the cognitive semantic elements in play in the formation of Chinese VO collocation. It explains why the object of certain VO collocation cannot be exchange arbitrarily. The focus of this study is the collocation in the transportation domain: the verbs 坐 (zuò), 骑 (qí), and 开 (kāi) as they collocate with their objects. The purpose of the study is to describe the cognitive semantic element embedded in those verbs and nouns. This research was conducted using the Chinese Web 2011 corpus (Sketch Engine). The result of the study on 38,160 collocation indicates that the differences in semantic meaning of verbal and object, differences in categorization of verbal and object, and differences in frames, play a role in the formation of VO collocations of the verbs 坐 (zuò), 骑 (qí), 开 (kāi). The differences in the semantic meanings of the verbs and objects and the differences in the categorization of the verbs and objects form an event frame which then combines in conceptual blending and form VO collocation. These findings also contribute to the field of language learning and teaching since it provides a broader picture and explanation of the formation of Chinese VO Collocation which can be used by teacher, students and textbook/teaching materials designer.
