DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHRASE AND COLLOCATION

First, there is spoke about phrase in this article and has written, phrase is the collection of words and particles that have grammatical or syntactic relation between each other but cannot express complete mean and doesn’t have finite verb, as these Pashto examples: dwɑkitɑ̄bunɑ (two books), ṣəxɑlək (good people)…. After then there has written that collocation is made from two or more words and particles that sometimes these combined elements keep completely the syntactic specifications but sometimes keep some syntactic specifications and miss some others; as well as, sometimes miss completely the syntactic specifications, like these Pashto examples: mɑlɑ̄ləi au torpekəi (Malaly and Torpekay), lɑ̄supṣe (hands and feet), mɑidɑ̄nṣɑ̄r (Maidan city)… . The major difference between phrase and collocation is this, that the syntactic relations between combined elements are ensuring by conjunctions in the phrase but these relations are ensuring by inclination particles in collocation.
