The document discusses collocations, which are bundles of words that often go together. It provides examples of different types of collocations, including verb-preposition combinations, verb-noun bundles, adjective-noun pairs, and more. It emphasizes that learning collocations makes language sound more natural and helps people express themselves in richer ways.
In corpus linguistics, a collocation is a series of words or terms that co-occur more often than would be expected by chance. In phraseology, collocation is a sub-type of phraseme. An example of a phraseological collocation, as propounded by Michael Halliday,[1] is the expression strong tea. While the same meaning could be conveyed by the roughly equivalent powerful tea, this expression is considered excessive and awkward by English speakers. Conversely, a corresponding expression in technology, powerful computer, is preferred over strong computer. Phraseological collocations should not be confused with idioms, where an idiom's meaning is derived from its convention as a stand-in for something else while collocation is a mere popular composition.
There are about six main types of collocations: adjective + noun, noun + noun (such as collective nouns), verb + noun, adverb + adjective, verbs + prepositional phrase (phrasal verbs), and verb + adverb.
Collocation extraction is a computational technique that finds collocations in a document or corpus, using various computational linguistics elements resembling data mining.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

10. What is a COLLOCATION?
A COLLOCATION is a bundle of words.
It is better to learn the “bundle of words”
instead of just the word by itself.
11. What is a COLLOCATION?
A collocation is two or more words that often
go together. These combinations just sound
"right" to native English speakers, who use
them all the time. On the other hand, other
combinations may be unnatural and just
sound "wrong".
13. Why learn collocations?

easily understood.
You will have alternative and richer ways of
expressing yourself.
It is easier for our brains to remember and use
language in chunks or blocks rather than as
single words.
