- English_collocations abstract "In the English language, collocation refers to a natural combination of words that are closely affiliated with each other. Some examples are \"pay attention\" ,\"fast food\", \"make an effort\", and \"powerful engine\". Collocations make it easier to avoid overused or ambiguous words like \"very\", \"nice\", or \"beautiful\", by using a pair of words that fits the context better and has a more precise meaning. Skilled users of the language can produce effects such as humor by varying the normal patterns of collocation. This approach is especially popular with poets, journalists and advertisers. Collocations may seem natural to natural writers and speakers, but are not obvious to non-native English speakers. For instance, the adjective \"dark\" collocates with \"chocolate\", but not with tea. Compare:Some collocations are fixed, or very strong; for example, \"take a photo\", where no vocabulary other than \"take\" collocates with \"photo\" to give the same sense. Many collocations are more open, where several different words might be used to give the same meaning, as an example keep to or stick to the rules.".
