The problem which the learner 1 in handling the meanings of plex expressions (and those of the more numerous two-binations) are well known. He may have 2 of understanding or interpretation (especially when the form of an expression is a poor guide to its meaning). He may have trouble in 3 accurately between various meanings of the "same" item—those of put out, for 4 , or take in. And again, he may need help in distinguishing 5 expressions which are reiated in form (of level off and level up) 6_not necessarily in meaning. Among the features we have included in the dictionary to help the student deal with such problems 7 the regular listing in entries of “collocating” words. We can consider briefly the special advantages of this guidance here.
The collocates of an expression are the particular words 8 bined with it to form sentences. 9 the words which regularly appear (as subjects) in the same sentences as bring to blows, for example, are disagreement, difference and rivalry and among those habitually associated (as direct objects) with bring to attention are troops, platoon, company. The learner normally es 10 of these word associations, or collocations, one by one through meeting them in books or hearing them in conversation, and as one association builds 11 another he gradually develops a firm understanding of the meanings of bring to blows and bring to attention.
