• Resumen

  • Three types of corpora are drawn on in an investigation of category ambiguity in high frequency words: general English corpora, learner English corpora and a corpus of English language teaching coursebooks. Four words are analysed and discussed: down, like, round, up. Variation is found within and across the corpora, which gives rise to discussion of some pedagogical implications.
