| Abstract | ||
| The present paper examines collocation as being an important lexical relationship between words.It tackles collocational patterns linguistically and culturally in both English and Arabic. It's worth mentioning here that collocation has often been studied linguistically only ; no due attention has been given to the effect of culture and cultural discrepancies between languages on the translation of collocation. This paper lays the ground for further studies and researches to examine the relation between culture and collocation. The aim of the present study is to characterize the collocational patterns in English and Arabic and to study the process of translating collocation on two levels: the linguistic level and the cultural one.The linguistic level limits itself to the translation of English collocations into Arabic.The cultural level, on the other hand, highlights the relation between culture and collocation reflected in translation. The examples given are from Arabic into English and vice versa. | ||
