This is the first published edition of John Sinclair, Susan Jones
and Robert Daley's research on collocation undertaken in 1970. The
unpublished report was circulated amongst a small group of
academics and was enormously influential, sparking a growth of
interest in collocation amongst researchers in linguistics.
Collocation was first viewed as important in computational
linguistics in the work of Harold Palmer in Japan. Later M.A.K.
Halliday and John Sinclair published on collocation in the 1960s.
English Collocation Studies is a report on empirical research into
collocation, devised by Halliday with Sinclair acting as the
Principal Investigator and editor of the resultant OSTI report. The
present edition contains an introduction by Professor Wolfgang
Teubert based on his interview with John Sinclair. The introduction
assesses the extent to which the findings of the original research
have developed in the intervening years, and how some of the
techniques mentioned in the report were implemented in the COBUILD
project at Birmingham University in the 1980s.
