Sažetak
This paper deals with the collocational errors of students of Financial Management. It starts with the brief theory of collocations from Firth to other theoreticians. It emphasises the importance of collocational competence by showing the hierarchy of errors as perceived by McCreton and Rider (in James 1998). Therefore, learners should be aware of the importance of collocations and the problems they might encounter at all the stages of learning English. There have been many applied linguists who explored the acquisition of collocations and they mostly focused on collocations in general English. This paper wants to show the most common collocational errors made by students of Financial Management by determining the most frequent mistakes in the use of collocations and establishing the level of collocational competence of non-native users of financial English. Forty-two students were tested. The obtained results were processed by SPSS. The analysis of erroneous use of collocations showed the use of approximation as well as the ignorance of financial terms. The results of the study also bear important implications for teaching financial English collocations.
