Knowledge of collocation is important for natural language processing because collocation comprises the restrictions on how words can be used together.

This book brings together leading professional and academic lexicographers to report on current developments in the deployment of electronic means in the planning, writing, and dissemination of dictionaries. Every major aspect of electronic lexicography is covered by the book including dictionary types (general and specialized dictionaries, monolingual and multilingual dictionaries, collocation dictionaries, sign dictionaries, collaborative dictionaries) in a range of formats (CD-ROM, web-based, handheld), dictionary-writing systems, integration of corpora,

This study attempts to consider some aspects of adverb-adjective collocation in English. It explores the semantic properties of some adverbs and their collocating adjectives recorded in two collocation dictionaries, namely, Oxford Collocations Dictionary (OCD) and the LTP Dictionary of Selected Collocations (LTP). The central questions that have guided this analysis are: what exactly does an adverb do to an adjective in Adverb-Adjective Collocation? and what are the restrictions on the combinability of the two lexical items?

English Collocation in Use ( Advanced)

A good knowledge of collocations (typical word combinations) is essential for fluent and natural-sounding English, and knowledge of collocations is often tested in advanced level examinations such as Cambridge CAE, CPE and IELTS. English Collocations in Use Advanced presents and practises hundreds of collocations in typical contexts to help you improve your written and spoken English. It also includes tips on learning strategies and ways to avoid common learner errors. The book is informed by the Cambridge International Corpus to make sure that the collocations taught  are the most frequent and useful for students at each level.
