This article examines the role of corpus linguistics in the study of collocations, with particular emphasis on corpus platforms and analytical tools used to identify and interpret recurrent lexical patterns in authentic language data. Corpus-based approaches enable researchers to move beyond intuition-driven analysis by providing empirical evidence of frequency, distribution, and contextual behavior of collocations. Special attention is given to “verb-based collocations” as structurally and pragmatically significant units in discourse. The study outlines key corpus linguistic platforms and methods, demonstrating their contribution to a systematic, objective, and functional analysis of collocations in modern linguistic research.
