	Collocation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge of collocations is vital for the competent use of a language: a grammatically correct sentence will stand out as 'weird' if collocational preferences are violated.
		The processing of collocations involves a number of parameters, the most important of which is the measure of association, which evaluates whether the co-occurrence is purely by chance or statistically significant.
		Due to the non-random nature of language, most collocations are classed as significant, and the association scores are simply used to rank the results.

	ENABLING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAMS WITH COLLOCATION
		Without departmental collocation, this may not occur because Joe may not know who to ask the question of, or he may not have had the opportunity with dispersed departments to develop the personal relationship and feel comfortable in asking the question or discussing an issue in an informal way.
		Collocation may require some extra space to provide flexibility in forming teams as needed, to support initiating a new development project while others are still being completed, and to provide part-time members with space in a project area while they retain a workspace in their functional department or in another project area.
		Collocation of team members not only enhances communication and early involvement, but it also allows the development process to be streamlined and provides for a more rapid performance of development activities or tasks that cross functional department boundaries.

	Verizon Partner Solutions \| Physical Collocation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Collocation nodes are generally constructed or expanded by Verizon using Verizon-approved design standards, material, and installation vendors.
		Collocation node additions or expansions can be contiguous, meaning direct expansion of an existing collocation node, or non-contiguous, meaning a new collocation node that does not touch the existing collocation node.
		Collocation nodes and POT Bays are typically placed in a common collocation area of the central office.

	BBC \| British Council teaching English - Vocabulary - Collocation 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Collocations can be defined in numerous ways (see Moon 1997:43), but for pedagogical purposes it is more practical to restrict the term to the following: two or three word clusters which occur with a more than chance regularity throughout spoken and written English.
		Learning collocations, apart from increasing the mental lexicon, leads to an increase in written and spoken fluency (the brain has more time to focus on its message if many of the nuts and bolts are already in place in the form of collocations of varying length).
		An understanding of collocation is vital for all learners, and for those on advanced level courses, it is essential that they are not only aware of the variety and sheer density of this feature of the language but that they actively acquire more and more collocations both within and outside the formal teaching situation.

	Product Development Best Practices Report - Collocation and Effective Teamwork: Experts Differ on Whether Physical ...
		Based on what converting to a work-cell model has taught over the past decade or so about efficiency and effectiveness, we would have thought that deciding whether or not it's important for a product team to sit together in the same work area for the life of a project would be an easy call.
		While acknowledging the benefits of physical collocation, Rafii thinks its importance is overrated, it doesn't guarantee better cross-functional communication or performance, it isn't always feasible or desirable, and there are higher-leverage ways to get cross-functional harmony.
		If you can't do physical collocation for the entire life of a project, you may want to try it for the first 30%, when decisions are made that dictate 90% of the life cycle costs.

	WORKSHOP ON COLLOCATION
		The term "collocation" was introduced in the nineteen thirties by J. Firth, founder member of the British Contextualist school, to characterise certain linguistic phenomena of cooccurrence that stem principally from the linguistic competence of native speakers (Firth 1957).
		By its very nature collocation remains a relatively fuzzy concept, the consequence of which being that traditional grammarians and semanticists have tended to ignore it, the exception being some lexical semanticists as Cruse (1986).
		Essentially idiomatic in nature, collocation defies rigid formalisation which explains the existence of different schools of thought between those seeking a descriptive contextualised view of linguistic phenomena and those who seeks formalised applications for translation, lexicography or computational purposes.

	Collocation:
		Collocation is one of the most critical and misunderstood services in the telecommunications industry.
		Collocation is a combination of real estate, civil engineering, electrical engineering, facility management and the standard bits and bytes of telecommunications fare.
		Collocation providers attuned to this issue will save their customers extensive capital since it is not uncommon for local access charges to comprise between 40 percent and 60 percent of the total long haul bandwidth services cost.

	Collocation Peformance History
		Collocation analysis is the process of comparing ranging data to the 1 millimeter (mm) level from two or more satellites laser ranging systems in close proximity (<600 meters, preferably <60 meters) by quasi-simultaneously ranging to common retro-reflector equipped satellite.
		Collocation analysis was and is still the best engineering tool available for rapid identification of sub-centimeter systematic error sources.
		In the mid to late 1980's, collocation analysis was used extensively to verfiy the NASA SLR system performance upgrades.

	Collocation Test
		When searching is finished, the collocation windows will display the list of collocates that co-occur with the keyword, sorted by order of significance.
		If two-word collocation is searched and the distance of the two words is greater than one, a number of underscore symbols, “_”, will be marked between the two words to indicate the distance.
		The development of Collocation Test was sponsored by the Development Grants for New Faculty/Researchers in 1999, and a research grant from the Research Division of the Faculty of Arts in 2000.

	Teaching Collocation: Further Developments in the Lexical Approach
		Collocations might be described as the words that are placed or found together in a predictable pattern.
		Collocational patterns account for some of the variability not captured in the rules, plus providing guidance for language use which may be grammatically correct, but not acceptable, the "we don't say it that way" situations which arise in the classroom.
		It is possible that collocation is the quickest path to acquiring the other elements of learning a word, such as syntactical, phonological, and form information, but it is not shown in these chapters.

	Feature: Next-generation collocation, 05/08/00
		Until recently, the only collocation options were either investing time, energy and money to build your own facility and then inviting in business partners; or forgoing your choice of partners and using a facility owned and controlled by a carrier or Web-hosting company.
		Thanks to a new breed of critter with the unwieldy name of vendor-neutral (or carrier-neutral) collocation service provider - a term so new it has yet to be acronymed - the landscape is now changing in a way that will improve life for companies and service providers alike.
		Collocation vendors also provide on-site technicians who can serve as "remote hands" to perform routine tasks such as system reboots.

	EB - COLLOCATION REQUIREMENTS
		On August 8, 1996, the Commission adopted the first collocation rules designed to implement section 251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 251(c)(6).
		Section 251(c)(6) of the Act obligates incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to provide, ``on rates, terms, and conditions that are just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory, for physical collocation of equipment necessary for interconnection or access to unbundled network elements.'' The collocation requirement allows competing LECs to place their equipment on the incumbent LEC's premises.
		According to GTE, it was not required to consider cageless collocation requests before August 1, 1999, which, it asserted, represented the earliest date on which it could accept and process such requests.

	FCC backs CLECs in collocation ruling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The FCC ruled in 1999 that competitors must be allowed to collocate any kind of phone equipment in incumbents' central offices, whether or not the equipment is related to local-line access.
		Collocating equipment is necessary if CLECs cannot otherwise connect to unbundled networks without having equipment at incumbent facilities, the FCC ruled.
		However, collocation of traditional circuit switches do not meet the standard because they are "very large pieces of equipment compared to newer, more advanced switching and routing equipment," the FCC ruling said.
