Contextualisation of Academic Terminology Collocations

    This paper investigates the significant role of ' context'  in the clarification and explication of words in English. It also sheds light on the linguistic environment within which the word operates, i- e- the collocates that occur in concomitance with this word .The research aims at exploring the formulation of words and vocables within the due context. This exploration, however, is conducted through the use of academic terminology in the framework of well-maintained context under certain semantic restrictions. Moreover, this work is an attempt to come up with answers to such questions as : What is meant by 'context'?  How important is 'contextualization' for the clarification of words ? Do 'context' and 'collocationality' both contribute to the full understanding of words ? The objective of the study is to investigate, explore and probe into the unraveling role of 'context' and 'contextualisation'. The study is a two– fold investigation aimed at getting acquainted with on- campus terms as well as the framework within which such terms operate and perform their communicative function . The study concludes that "context" is inevitable for the conscious awareness desperately required by learners of   English to fully grasp the sense intended. This, above all , saves the learner both the effort and time that may be consumed in the quest for the meaning of a word out of context.
