Collocation

Collocation is the way words combine in a language to produce natural-sounding speech and writing. E.g., in English you say strong wind and heavy rain.
It would be not normal to say *heavy wind or *strong rain.

Collocation runs through the whole of the English language. No piece of natural spoken or written English is totally free of collocation.
For the student, choosing the right collocation will make his speech and writing more natural, more native-speaker-like.
