This book demonstrates how corpus-based research can advance the
understanding of linguistic phenomena in a given language. By
presenting a detailed analysis of collocations and idioms in a
digital corpus of English and German, the contributors to this
volume show how the use of collocations and idioms has changed over
time, and suggests possible triggers for this change. The book not
only examines what these collocations and idioms are, but also what
their purpose is within languages. Idioms and Collocations is
divided into three sections. The first section discusses the
construction, composition and annotation of the corpus. Chapters in
the second section describe the methods for querying the corpus,
the generation and maintenance of the example subcorpora, and the
linguistic-lexicographic analyses of the target idioms. Finally,
the third section presents the results of specific investigations
into the syntactic, semantic, and historical properties of
collocations. This book presents original work in corpus
linguistics, computational linguistics, theoretical linguistics and
lexicography. It will be useful for researchers in academic and
industrial settings, and lexicographers.
