Collocation is the way in which words co-occur – combinations which, through custom and practice, have become to be seen as normal and acceptable. It is immediately apparent that some words can live together, others cannot. We say fast asleep, and this is an acceptable collocation, but fast awake is not.

The goal of language teaching is to develop what Hymes (1972) referred to as "communicative competence". Hymes coined this term in order to contrast a communicative view of language and Chomsky's theory of competence.
