Abstract

Collocation is a linguistic phenomenon found in language. Different languages have their own collocations and their own ways in dealing with them. Being a native speaker of a certain language necessitates being familiar and acquainted with collocations. Since a translator is impossible to be a native speaker in both the SL and TL, then he has to be aware of collocation when he translates. He has to be linguistically and culturally well equipped to be able to handle TL collocations in an appropriate way, even in the cases where no corresponding collocation is found.
