Além de co-ocorrer com determinados nomes (e.g. arrest warrant – mandado de prisão), o substantivo warrant co-ocorre naturalmente com lexemas de outras classes gramaticais como preposições (e.g. without a warrant - sem mandado) e verbos (e.g. execute a warrant – cumprir mandado).

Acerca das colocações verbais, Tagnin (2005) esclarece que: 'Existem substantivos que co-ocorrem naturalmente com determinados verbos, mas que podem diferir de uma língua para outra'.

Em outras palavras, embora em português usemos os verbos anular, cumprir e intimar com mandado, em inglês as traduções correspondentes a essas combinações comportam verbos diferentes, tais como rescind, execute e serve, respectivamente.
