Deutsch-englische Kollokationen

The study investigates the role of collocations in the use of two-language dictionaries and the extent to which dictionaries satisfy the requirements of foreign language learners in this connection. The main part of the book is a detailed analysis of the way collocations are treated in important German-English reference works from different publishers. There is also consideration of the degree to which lexicographically relevant collocations can be extracted from corpora. Prior to the analysis of these dictionaries, the study describes various rival approaches to collocation research.
