- 30. How to notice, select and record collocations Collocations are extremely common, so keep a record of the ones you learn. Noticing Don't forget that collocations are not necessarily found next to each other. For example, in the sentence The study, published in 2013, was conducted by Ohio University, study and conducted are collocates. Selecting Decide: which collocations are likely to be useful for you: make an arrangement: useful for all learners treat an infection: useful if you need to talk about medical matters Recording Don't record 'weak' collocations (where each part collocates with many other words) like big house or nice car. Choose a logical way to organize your store of collocations: by topic, e.g. health: treat a patient, suffer from diabetes, have surgery by a key word, e.g. MAKE + an arrangement/a mistake/ an appointment; do/carry out/conduct + RESEARCH
- 31. Practice time Find 10 collocations How to Find Those in this Text 1.Look for Common Word Pairs: 1. Identify words that often go together. Common pairings include adjectives + nouns (e.g., sleeping pattern), verbs + nouns (e.g., regulate stress), and noun + noun (e.g., sleep maintenance insomnia). 2.Focus on Repeated Themes: 1. Collocations often emerge around specific themes. In this text, look for groupings related to sleep, activities, historical references, and psychological terms. 3.Pay Attention to Natural Groupings: 1. Words that sound natural together (e.g., waking period, trouble getting back to sleep) are often collocations. These pairs help make the text more fluid and native-sounding. 4.Identify Common Phrases: 1. Some phrases appear frequently in certain contexts, such as scientific terms (e.g., growing body of evidence) or social context terms (e.g., urban upper classes). 5.Look for Context-Specific Terms: 1. Certain words or ideas often appear together in specific contexts. For instance, terms related to historical research (e.g., seminal paper, historical evidence) tend to cluster in academic or historical discussions.

- 33. Chunks Apart from collocations, there are also chunks. Are they the same thing? Yes and no. According to the definition, a chunk is a group of words customarily found together, they can be fixed expressions (as a matter of fact), or some combinations that allow variation (see you later/soon/tomorrow). So while collocation is a kind of chunk that consists of two content words, chunks also comprise other types of multi-word units, grammar structures or even full sentences. A chunk is a group of words that are commonly found together and represent a single unit of meaning. Chunks can include lexical phrases, set phrases, and fixed phrases which can be learned together as a unit.
