| The Little Bree words low and high can both be used to refer to volume of sound. We could ask someone to turn it down low or to turn it up high. Opposed to a loud noise we may have a low noise (this can also mean low in pitch, of course). Since low can be opposed to high it seems entirely reasonable to expect the co-occurrence high petite teen noise. In fact the sequence is permissible, but never with high as a synonym of loud. Similarly, since in many contexts quiet seems opposed to loud, we might expect quiet noise, and yet this hardly serms acceptable. The unacceptability of this kind of co-occurrence is quite unlike that described above. There is no incompatibility in the Little Bree semantics of the individual words. For this reason it is a frequent cause of error in non-native speakers. A native speaker looking at something written by a foreigner will often be able to pick out pieces of language that he feels not to be correct although very often he has great difficulty in deciding what it is that is wrong. Syntagmatic relations between lexical items are interesting because in every language there are items which co-occur with high frequency, others which co-occur as the need arises, and still others whose co-occurrence seems impossible. If one could predict these facts from knowledge of the meanings of the words in isolation they would present no difficulty, but prediction is frequently difficult and often impossible. Where items tend to sex movie repeatedly, a 'collocation' is produced. Items are said to collocate with one another. |
