This article examines the phenomenon of linguistic collocation in Arabic as a fundamental principle governing meaning, usage, and textual cohesion. It argues that collocation is not a random adjacency of words but a stable semantic system that ensures clarity and prevents ambiguity. Drawing on classical Arabic linguistic heritage and modern semantic theory, the study shows that Arab scholars intuitively recognized collocation through usage, even without formal terminology.
