This article delves into the concept of “collocation” exploring its origins, its role within linguistics, and its overall significance. Collocations, which refer to the natural and expected co-occurrence of words, are fundamental to understanding language structure and usage. The article offers various perspectives on defining collocations, differentiating them from other linguistic concepts such as idioms and phrases. It also highlights the practical applications of studying collocations, particularly for language learners, who can benefit from a deeper understanding of how words naturally combine. Furthermore, the article suggests potential avenues for future research in the field of collocations.
