Abstract

The purpose of learning a word is to put it in actual use. It is far from being enough to know just the meaning of a word, for we have to take into consideration the immediate context in which a word is used, i.e. the words preceding and following the word in question. Both the grammatical and lexical patterns are critical to the identification of a word in a certain sense. This paper is devoted to the elaboration on the concept of collocation, the importance of collocation and how to learn collocation. © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
