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’.
