Although words can appear as single items which are combined in a sentence, they can also occur in two-or-more item groups. They often combine with each other in ways which competent speakers of the language recognize instantly. Word combinations (also known as collocations) have become a subject of great interest in the recent past. Collocation is the way in which words co-occur – combinations which, through custom and practice, have become to be seen as normal and acceptable. It is immediately apparent that some words can live together, others cannot. We say fast asleep, and this is an acceptable collocation, but fast awake is not. The chunking of language suggests that talking about vocabulary exclusively in terms of words is not sufficient to account for the different kinds of meaning unit that the language has at its disposal.
