Overview

"Collocations are recurring and grammatically well-formed sequences of words. They make up the building blocks of the speaker's mental lexicon, are an essential element in linguistic competence, and hence are of great interest to linguists. This book contains some 85,000 collocations from the American ""Brown Corpus"", which contains one million words of relatively recent texts from many different genres. Examples of collocations are: at the outset, could be expected to, not significantly different from, peaceful co-existence, powdered coffee, and with great difficulty. For each collocation there are statistics showing its frequency, distribution and degree of prominence or ""collocationness"". It should be a suitable reference source for researchers in linguistics, English-language teaching, lexicography, stylistics and automatic language analysis."
