This chapter presents a detailed analysis of word collocations associated with maðm, hord, gestreon, sinc, and frætwe. Collocation, defined simply as the tendency of words to appear together, encompasses stylistic features, such as the formula, which have been seen as constraints on the control the Old English poet could exert over word choice and other kinds of verbal repetition which have more often been seen as indications of inventiveness. Defined in this way, collocation is an heuristic tool which allows a range of stylistic aspects of Old English poetry to be studied in relation, rather than in opposition to, or separated from, each other. It also allows both formulas and other kinds of verbal repetitions to be considered in their larger lexical context. For the formula, a contextual approach means being able to see the range of ways the lexical elements of a formula occur together, so for example, the formula landes frætwe (ornaments of the land) can be considered alongside other semantic and syntactic constructions which include the terms land and frætwe. Meanwhile, when looking at other verbal repetition, we can, for instance, see whether words which are used within rhetorical patterns in one poem are used similarly in other poems. As a consequence of these contextual and relational dimensions, a study of collocation can provide new insight into the nature of the conventionality of Old English verse.
