Collocational restriction is a linguistic term used in morphology. The term refers to the fact that in certain two-word phrases the meaning of an individual word is restricted to that particular phrase (cf. idiom). For instance: the adjective ''dry'' can only mean 'not sweet' in combination with the noun ''wine''. A more illustrative example is the one given below: *''white wine'' *''white coffee'' *''white noise'' *''white man'' All four instances of ''white'' can be said to be idiomatic because in combination with certain nouns the meaning of ''white'' changes. In none of the examples does ''white'' have its commonest meaning. Instead, in the examples above it means 'yellowish', 'brownish', 'containing many frequencies with about equal amplitude', and 'pinkish' or 'pale brown', respectively. ==Bibliography== * Carstairs-McCarthy, A.
