Sinclair, Phraseology, and Lexicography

Rosamund Moon

Department of English, University of Birmingham (R.E.Moon{at}bham.ac.uk)


  Abstract

John Sinclair wrote extensively on lexis, setting out a corpus-driven model of lexis as phraseology, with meaning being created and interpreted through cotext. This model was partially realized lexicographically in the first Cobuild dictionary. As Sinclair's phraseological approach to meaning evolved, further implications for a new kind of lexicography became apparent.
