Adopting the corpus-based approach, the present study analyzes the collocational behavior of the frequently used word ‘get’ in two novels. A comparison is drawn between its use in the two novels and between these uses and the items from the modern dictionary. The statistics on the objective data reveal slight discrepancies in the use of get by the two writers. The major finding is that sense 2 takes high percentage of the sense distribution in both novels. And Pattern A of sense 2 takes a superior percentage in the sense distribution. This paper aims to highlight the important role of the corpus-based collocational research in English vocabulary teaching.
