PHRASEOLOGY: Theory, Analysis, and Applications
Edited by A. P. Cowie, University of Leeds

(Oxford Studies in Lexicography and Lexicology)

Over the last twenty years, phraseology has become a major field of
pure and applied research in Western European and North American
linguistics. This book is made up of authoritative contributions from
leading specialists who examine the increasingly crucial role played
by ready-made word-combinations in language acquisition and adult
language use. This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account
of the subject to be published in English.
