CLASSIFICATION OF COLLOCATIONS OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Аннотация

Collocations can be viewed as forms of meaning. It is possible to allocate also the lexicographic approach to studying the phenomenon of collocation. While in British contextualism collocation is defined on the basis of statistical assumptions about the probability of co-occurrence of two (or more) lexemes, and especially frequent combinations of lexical units are considered as collocations, the lexicographic approach considers collocation as a semantic-syntactic unit or a combination of lexically defined elements of grammatical structures. Within the framework of this approach a special attention is given to the structures that underlie collocations. One of the key properties of collocation is “the impossibility of prediction of such combinations on the basis of meanings of their components”.
