• Resumen

  • In the first part, basic approaches to collocations and their nature is discussed. In a survey, these deal with (1) corpus-psychological approach, (2) content-grammar words, (3) polysemous-monosemous words, (4) frequent-infrequent words, (5) collocationally large-restricted words, (6) stable-not stable collocations, (7) regular-anomalous combinations. Some attention is paid to relation of polysemy and frequency and role of valency. In the second part, an analysis of selected words from LDCE's letter A is undertaken in their coverage of collocations and confronted with what the British National Corpus has to offer. Finally, major open problems of lexicographical coverage of collocations are listed.
