What Are Collocations

Published on April 4, 2022 by English Proficiency Editorial Team

What Are Collocations?

In any language, the value of vocabulary cannot be emphasized. As a result, a greater emphasis is placed on vocabulary comprehension and learning when learning a language. 

Collocations, being a significant part of the English vocabulary, is one aspect that you should give importance to.

If you want to know more about the fundamentals of collocations, why we need them, and the different sorts of collocations, please keep reading.

What are Collocations?

What are the different types of collocations, collocations vs. phrasal verbs: what’s the difference, how to learn collocations, what are in the academic collocations list, what are in the business collocations list, why do collocations matter, additional faqs – collocations.

Collocation is a term that refers to a grouping of words that appear together because of their frequent use and hence, have the same meaning.

It is possible that when we use ‘heavy rain’ instead of big or strong rain, we are implying that it is raining heavily.

Although in the example above, the terms ‘strong rain’ and ‘big rain’ have the same meaning. Both of them are, in fact, grammatically valid. 

However, using the terms ‘big rain’ or ‘ strong rain’ will sound weird. As a result, we employ ‘heavy rain’ to sound more natural and to improve our English.

Similarly, there are other instances where we employ a specific set of words in order to sound organically proper.

Collocations are a term that refers to a group of words that are expected to be used together. To ‘ do homework’, ‘make the bed’, ‘take a chance’, and so on are some additional examples of collocations.

There are seven types of collocations in the English language. They are: 

  • Adverb + Adjective

Adjective + Noun

Noun + noun, noun + verb, verb + noun, verb + preposition.

  • Verb + Adverb 

There are various types of collocations with regard to how they are structured. To avoid confusion, it is a must that you familiarize yourself with each kind. 

Here are the different types of collocations with examples. 

Adverb + Adjective 

Adverb + verb (verb + adverb).

Phrasal verbs are collocations by definition; however, not all collocations are phrasal verbs. 

A collocation is a term that refers to words that are frequently or always used together. 

In a sentence, a collocation can act as different parts of speech. ‘Bunch of flowers’ (noun) or ‘ commit a crime’ (verb) are two examples.

On the other hand, a phrasal verb is frequently made up of a verb and a preposition that has a different meaning from the original verb. 

For instance, ‘put + up with’ means to tolerate something, ‘put + up’ means to return something to its original/proper position (particularly when cleaning), and ‘put + off’ indicates to delay something until a later schedule.

Because the preposition element of a phrasal verb alters the entire meaning, it is better to memorize phrasal verbs in chunks of verb + prep rather than studying the verb definition and then the preposition separately.

Collocations

Phrasal Verbs

Collocations will help you sound more natural in English. 

However, some words in English go together, and others do not, and there is no grammatical explanation for it. 

Collocations might be problematic for English learners as a result of this.

Thus, here are some tips and techniques you can apply as you study and learn about collocations. 

  • Recognize and learn.

Reading and listening to various things in English is one of the finest ways to hunt for collocations.

This will simplify you to identify them when you see or hear them.

  • Use a collocation dictionary. 

Using a collocation dictionary can be beneficial, but do not strive to memorize huge lists.

Instead, take note of a few collocations each time you hear one and write a phrase or two about how they apply to your own life.

For example, you could write “I wish I had more free time throughout the week” or “When I visit my family for the holidays, I will finally have free time.”

  • Observe and learn. 

Observing and noting the collocations found in a few minutes of dialogue on a TV show or movie is one approach to using them. Then, compose a sentence for each that you might use in real life and practice saying it aloud.

  • Read. 

As much as possible, read. Reading is a fantastic approach to learning vocabulary and collocations spontaneously and in context. Read and study them in groups that are convenient for you. You can study them by theme (time, number, weather, money, and family) or by a specific word (‘take an exam’, ‘take action’, ‘take a chance’).

  • Revise. 

Regularly review what you have learned. After learning new collocations, practice utilizing them in context as soon as feasible.

This way, you will slowly integrate the collocations into your daily activities, and using them will be natural for you. 

The Academic Collocation List (ACL) is a collection of 2,469 of the most common and helpful collocations found in academic writing.

It might be thought of as a collocational companion to the Academic Word List (AWL) , using collocations (or word combinations) instead of single words.

The ACL was created by Kirsten Ackermann and Yu-Hua Chen with the help of English teaching specialists and the Pearson International Corpus of Academic English (PICAE) to ensure that the collocations chosen would be valuable to English students. 

When discussing business in English, collocations are commonly used word combinations. 

For example, in English, we do business rather than make it. If you are attempting to do business all around the world, that business English collocation can make all the difference.

It is crucial to get the phrase right while making judgments involving large sums of money.

For a list of the different collocations in academics and in business, please click the links below:

  • The Academic Collocations List
  • The Business Collocations List

Collocations are the building blocks of a ‘natural language’ and without them, you might still be understood by others, but your words will sound off and weird.

Understanding collocations will help you gain confidence in your abilities in writing and speaking.

As an English learner, your goals are undoubted to improve fluency and sound more natural in spoken and written English.

Your knowledge in collocations can also be quite beneficial to be able to foresee what someone is going to say in the receptive skills (reading and hearing), either to mentally prepare yourself or in case the rest of the sentence or expression is unheard or unclear. 

Needless to say that when it comes to acquiring fluency in English, learning collocations is unquestionably an important component of the puzzle.

What are Collocations in Grammar?

Collocation is referred to as the natural combination of words that are closely related.

By choosing a pair of words that match the situation better and have a clearer meaning, collocations make it easy to avoid adjectives that are overused like ‘very’, ‘nice’, or ‘beautiful’.

What are the 7 Types of Collocation?

The seven types and structures of collocations are : — adverb + adjective, — adjective + noun, — noun + noun, — noun + verb, — verb + noun, — verb + prepositional phrase and — adverb + verb.

Phrasal verbs are also considered collocations and follow the structure ‘verb + preposition’. 

Are Idioms Collocations? 

No, idioms are not considered collocations.

Collocations are a group of words that frequently appear in the same context.

Idioms , on the other hand, simply refer to an expression that acts as a single unit and whose meaning cannot be deduced from its individual components.

Title: insight into the collocation of multi-source satellite imagery for multi-scale vessel detection.

Abstract: Ship detection from satellite imagery using Deep Learning (DL) is an indispensable solution for maritime surveillance. However, applying DL models trained on one dataset to others having differences in spatial resolution and radiometric features requires many adjustments. To overcome this issue, this paper focused on the DL models trained on datasets that consist of different optical images and a combination of radar and optical data. When dealing with a limited number of training images, the performance of DL models via this approach was satisfactory. They could improve 5-20% of average precision, depending on the optical images tested. Likewise, DL models trained on the combined optical and radar dataset could be applied to both optical and radar images. Our experiments showed that the models trained on an optical dataset could be used for radar images, while those trained on a radar dataset offered very poor scores when applied to optical images.
