Abstract: Aims at presenting and describing the concept of "collocation" in Persian and the role of such compounds in applied fields such as learner's dictionaries. Consists of five chapters, an appendix and a bibliography. First chapter is about the framework of the research. Second chapter includes the theoretical issues; theories on syntactic, morphological and semantic collocations and the criteria for their identification are discussed in this chapter. Third chapter is the review of literature. In chapter four collocation in Persian is introduced and described on the basis of the theoretical framework of the research. Chapter five deals with analysis of the data collected during field research. Questionnaire is attached (appendix). Conclusions include the fact that undergraduate, graduate and post graduate students are more familiar with collocation of compound verbs rather than non-verb compounds.
