Abstract. This article presents and describes a number of factors that influence the process of collocation formation in English. Knowing these factors is very important and necessary to properly understand, memorize and use these compounds for successful communication. The article shows the comparison of collocational units and their behavior, as well as the division into groups based on the frequency and degree of synonymy of these collocational units. Based on a wide range of examples taken from the linguistic corpus, the author determines the compound sentences characteristic of each of the groups and tries to prove that they do not always appear spontaneously in the language. The results of the presented analysis show that the formation of compound sentences in English occurs not only according to the rules of grammar, syntax and lexicology, but is also determined by node semantics, speech etymology and semantic prosody.

Keywords: collocation, conjunction, collocate, linguistic corpus, semantic prosody, speech etymology.
