All aspects of the concept of collocation - the phenomenon whereby
words naturally tend to occur in the company of a restricted set of
other words - are covered in this book. It deals in detail with the
history of the word collocation, the concepts associated with it
and its use in a linguistic context. The authors show the practical
means by which the collocational behavior of words can be explored
using illustrative computer programs and examine applications in
teaching, lexicography and natural language processing that use
collocation in formation. The book investigates the place that
collocation occupies in theories of language and provides a
thoroughly comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the current
position of collocation in language studies and applied
linguistics.
This book presents a comprehensive description of collocation,
covering both the theoretical and practical background and the
implications and applications of the concept as language model and
analytical tool. It provides a definitive survey of currently
available techniques and a detailed description of their
implementation.
