as the big house, both big and house can be callocated with many other common words, the small house, the big problem. It is depend on the context of situation where those words have to be combined. Hill differentiates collocation into more specific types 16 : 1. Unique collocations They have the unique meaning such as foot the bill which means to pay an amount of money, not related to the part of body as the individual word foot. 2. Strong collocations They are not unique but strong or very strong combination such as ulterior motives, harbour grudge. 3. Weak collocations They are the combination of usual words in English, for example bad habit, expensive car, good time. 4. Medium-strength collocation They are not strong or weak but in the middle, for instance hold a conversation, make a mistake, do the homework. Collocation includes idiom and phrasal verb. Lewis mentions that all collocations are idiomatic and all phrasal verbs and idioms are collocations or contain collocations. Collocations are placed on a sliding scale of meaning and form relatively unrestricted collocations to highly fixed idioms. He classifies collocation into free collocation, restricted collocation, figurative idiom, and pure idiom. 17 There are two major categories of collocation, lexical collocation and grammatical collocation.
