Entertainment / Literature / Collocation: The frequency or tendency some words have to combine with each other. For instance, Algeo notes that the phrases 'tall person' and 'high mountain' seem to fit together readily without sounding strange. A non-native speaker might talk about a 'high person' or 'tall mountain,' and this construction might sound slightly odd to a native English speaker. The difference is in collocation.
