Definition of Collocation

There are several definitions of collocation

1. A familiar grouping of words, especially words that habitually appear together and
thereby convey meaning by association.
2. The habitual juxtaposition of a particular word with another word or words with a
frequency greater than chance

 Kind of Collocations

1. Lexical Collocation. Considered as lexicalized phrases where two recurrent lexical elements
have a syntactic relationship (William, 2003). Examples: strong tea, a bouquet of flowers,
best regards.
2. Grammatical collocations consist of a noun, or an adjective or a verb, plus a particle (a
preposition, an adverb or a grammatical structure such as an infinitive a gerund or clause)
(Bahns, 1993:57). The following are the examples: at night, extend to, good at, fall for, to be
afraid that.
