Usage Note

Collocazione can refer to the physical placement of an object, a job placement (collocazione lavorativa), or in linguistics, a lexical collocation (a natural word pairing). In Italian libraries, la collocazione is the call number. In language-learning contexts it overlaps with English 'collocation' — pairs of words that naturally go together.
