COLLOCATION

Collocation is a familiar grouping of words, especially words that habitually appear together and thereby convey meaning by association. In corpus linguistics, collocation defines a sequence 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, is the expression strong tea. While the same meaning could be conveyed by the roughly equivalent *powerful tea, this expression is considered incorrect by English speakers. Conversely, the corresponding expression for computer, powerful computers is preferred over *strong computers. Phraseological collocations should not be confused with idioms, where meaning is derived, whereas collocations are mostly compositional.



Berikut adalah beberapa contoh kalimat yang menggunakan Collocation:
  • “Kessy go home with his best friend every day.” (best)
  • “Kessy eats with his good friends.” (good, close)

Kata ‘good’ adalah Collocation lain yang dapat digunakan untuk menggantikan ‘good‘ seperti ” Kessy eats with his close friends.”

  • “Kessy has been a loyal friend for decades.” (loyal, true, real, faithful, trusted)

Semua kata dalam kurung dapat digunakan untuk menggantikan kata “loyal” semua ini adalah contoh lain dari Collocation untuk kata ‘friend’.

Thus we can say that: " red " is  a hyponym of " color " and so on.

Examples:
clarinet, guitar, piano, trumpet, violin, are hyponyms because they are " musical instruments " but there is not a single word meaning  " musical instrument " that has these  words as its hyponyms .
