This paper shows how a corpus-driven approach leads to a new perspective on central issues of phraseology and on lexicographical applications. It argues that a data-driven pattem search (applying Statistical methods), an a posteriori interpretation of the data and a user oriented documentation of the usage of multi-word units (e. g. in lexicographical articles) constitute a step-by-step process where each step has its own informational value and useflilness. The description of multi-word units (Usuelle Wortverbindungen) presented in this paper focuses on the second Step, the high quality analysis and interpretation of collocation data, exemplified by the fields of multi-word units centered around the word formslIdee/Ideenl(idea/ideas).
This contribution article focuses on German-language collocation research and lexicographic practice from a corpus linguistic perspective. Although there is no dictionary called “Deutsches Kollokationswörterbuch” (German collocation dictionary), the collocation perspective acquires increasing popularity in linguistic research and dictionary work in the German-speaking area. On the one hand, this tendency is due to the growing number of studies dealing with German as a contrast language and works on foreign language didactics. On the other hand, powerful electronic resources such as large corpora and lexical databases, which are nowadays available for the German language, are recognised as a valuable empirical basis. Nevertheless, the application of novel corpus linguistic methods in lexicographic practice is still unsatisfactory. Therefore, this article concludes by discussing innovative aspects of corpus linguistic empirical research on the basis of collocations. These ideas are presented as an incentive for further research as well as practical application.
