~ By the Way ~ What are Collocations? ~

Collocations  are words that occur in language in groups or chunks or phrases, but they occur

 

more often than by chance . In other words, collocations are not random. Idioms, sayings, compound

 

nouns, and all types of phrases are examples of collocations. Phrasal verbs are an especially frequent

 

form in language use. Therefore, they are offered in abundance in the exercises above.

 

 

Collocations can be seen as a liberating approach to learning languages as they don’t rely on strict

 

grammatical rules. Further, computers (originally programmed by us) have the ability to discover

 

collocations among the meta data on the web. We can identify what language forms specific groups of

 

people use on a regular basis and then possibly pinpoint learner needs. This data also informs  AI.

 

 

What may be true is that while language is made up of  various structures and collocations, it is also

 

the essence of communication and life as we know it. However you approach learning a language,

 

good old-fashioned sweat, daily effort, and a healthy love of humor will surely take you to your goal.
