Abstract
"In the Field of Foreign Language Acquisition (FLA), developing competence and performance in the language is the most important goal in the learner´s achievement, to raise awareness about the notions of using the L2 in the most appropriate way. The term competence proposed by Chomsky (1965) is the capacity of knowledge the language between speaker and hearer, which implies grammatical and contextual issues. Later on, (Hymes, 1972, cited in Bachman, 1990) adds to the term psycholinguistic, sociocultural and probabilistic subcomponents. Performance, on the other hand, is the usage of the language in concrete situations. (Chomsky, 1965). So it can be said that competence and performance are the abilities to use the language according to the social context, producing correct utterances and appropriate messages (Bachman 1990, Canale & Swain 1980). The aim of this investigation is to make a lexicographical study about the functional aspects of collocations regarding Business English within the following situations: telephone calls, booking, making appointments, job interviews, and business conversations".
