Title: Collocations in English.
Abstract: Collocations can be defined as a series of words or terms that co-occur
more often than would be expected by chance. In the English
language, collocation refers to a natural combination of words that are
closely affiliated with each other. Some examples are "pay attention", "fast
food", "make an effort", and "powerful engine". Collocation means a
natural combination of words; it refers to the way English words are
closely associated with each other.
Learning collocations is an important part of learning the vocabulary of a
language. Some collocations are fixed, or very strong, for example (take a
photo), where no word other than take collocates with photo to give the
same meaning. Some collocations are more open, where several different
words may be used to give a similar meaning, for example( keep to / stick
to the rules).
In recent years collocations have emerged as an important category of
lexical usage and have been recently viewed as an established unit of
description in language teaching courses and materials.
It is evident that the arbitrary nature of collocations are ideally related to
independent language learning and that there is a need to understand and
develop knowledge of the meaning and denotations of collocations in
everyday life situations.
