This article aims to make evident the need to include collocations in english/portuguese – portuguese/english school dictionaries, especially in the portuguese/english direction, in a systematic way. Therefore, we briefly present the main approaches that deal with collocations, outline the characteristics of this linguistic phenomenon, discuss the issue of language transfer (mainly the collocational errors caused by L1 transfer) and lastly, based on the results of a comparative study with seven bilingual school dictionaries, we provide some comments on the presentation of collocations in this type of dictionaryDownloads
