Abstract
The paper focuses on aspects of word relations in verbo-nominal collocations in Czech, based on the names of some emotions. In case of Czech I used the material from The Czech National Corpus (CNK/SYN2000) only. Theoretical fundament of my research is based on conceptions of phraseology and semantics of D. O. Dobrovoljskij and Fr. Cermák. Collocations are usually considered between free word combinations and idioms and they are generally studied in phraseology. According to my opinion, however, if collocations are only studied by phraseologists they are viewed as lexical anomalies. The results of my research show that they are regular word combinations and are only one way of nominations among other usual methods. In case of collocations the following question might arise if usage of their components is semantically motivated by the meaning of the words or not. The results based on the corpus which are frequency-oriented show that word combinations are always semantically motivated. In my opinion, however, if a certain noun expressing an emotion needs to be combined with a verb, semantic motivation is not predestinated but both the noun and the verb are able/must modify their meanings in order to express a necessary content.
