Abstract

This dictionary provides collocations of English in an easily accessible form. It shows which word combinations exist in English and which grammatical constructions are possible. Whenever possible, the collocations are listed under the noun, so that in order find out, for instance, which verb goes with oath, one simply looks up and finds to administer an oath smb; to swear, take an oath; etcetera. The BBI should be of use for such tasks as letter writing and translating, as well as intermediate and advanced instruction in English. It gives 70,000 collocations and phrases under a total of 14,000 main entries.
