Summary/Abstract: In the communication process, it is necessary to use specific collocations that language users begin to include in their lexical resources at an early stage of lan¬guage acquisition. The aim of this study is to investigate the productive collocation competence (i.e. the ability to use collocations that are fixed connections of at least two words with integrated meaning) in preschoolers. The research group consist¬ed of forty five year-olds whose mother tongue was Polish, and whose task was to provide fourteen verbal collocations with the lexemes telefon ‘telephone’ and komputer ‘computer/laptop’ based on the situation described to them.
