Lexical collocation is considered as one of the important devices used by discourse producers to create cohesion in a text. It was proved that lexical collocation has a profound effect on the cognitive processes employed by readers in order to negotiate a meaning of a text. In other words, it is claimed that the kind of reading processes capitalized on by the reader of a text to read and comprehend the text and finally be able to negotiate a meaning of a text are partly dependent on the kind of cohesive devices used by the text producer. Lots of theoretical works have been done on the notion of lexical collocation so far, but the number of experimental studies to statistically tap the effect of lexical collocation on the process of reading comprehension is not so many.This study aimed at shedding some more light on the effect of lexical collocational density of a text- the number of collocating nodes- on the degree of comprehensibility of that text. In so doing, two groups of participants were randomly chosen and used as our experimental and control groups. Twenty texts were analyzed and determined as having high or low lexical collocational density. The texts were paired in ten pairs each having a high and a low LCD text. Ten texts with high LCD were given to our experimental group and the other ten ones to our control group to read and answer the comprehension questions that followed each text.The results showed that in eight pairs our hypothesis was statistically confirmed and the null hypothesis was rejected. But in two pairs, though a higher mean of the scores was observed in the experimental group, the research hypothesis was not statistically proved and the null hypothesis was confirmed. So we could conclude that there is a meaningful relationship between the degree of LCD in a text and the degree of comprehensibility of that text manifested in the form of high mean of the scores..
