Abstract

This research in applied linguistics aims to emphasize the need for further attention on applied linguistics, inspired by several calls for the creation of modern dictionaries that not only include linguistic vocabulary but also cover various areas such as phonetics, semantics, and lexicography. Several recent studies have been conducted on this subject, particularly on linguistic collocations. Through interactions with non-native Arabic speakers, I observed their urgent need for simplified Arabic grammar rules, as presenting grammar to non-native speakers in the same manner as to native speakers is ineffective. This research aims to clarify the concept of collocation, both linguistically and terminologically, highlight its importance, and simplify Arabic grammar rules for non-native speakers through collocation in sentence construction to encourage them to learn the language. It also seeks to employ Arabic grammar rules to safeguard language integrity from errors and mistakes by clarifying the use of collocation in grammatical markers and improving their spoken and written language. The research addresses several questions, such as: What is the linguistic and terminological definition of collocation? What is its importance? How can Arabic grammar be simplified for non-native speakers through collocation in sentence construction? Can Arabic grammar rules be employed to teach non-native speakers through collocation in grammatical markers, and why? The researchers will adopt a descriptive-analytical approach to observe the phenomenon of collocation within the framework of how non-native Arabic speakers use collocation in sentence construction and grammatical markers and analyze this phenomenon after studying its aspects.
