10. The idiom principle
Users have available to them a large number of semy pre-constructed phrases (Sinclair 1991)
Linguistic theory has been “massively biased in favour of the paradigmatic rather than the syntagmatic dimesion” (Sinclair 2004, )
In order to integrate the two dimensions, Sinclair suggests a focus on
Collocation: co-occurrence of (lexical) words
Colligation: a grouping of words based on the way they function in a syntactic structure - i.e., a syntactic pattern
These notions are fundamental for LSP phraseology
The idiom principle is key in corpus linguistics

11. Familiarising with corpora
Corpus = collection of texts assumed to be representative of a given language put together so that it can be used for linguistic analysis.
Usually the assumption is that the language stored in a corpus is naturally-occurring, gathered according to explicit design criteria, with a specific purpose in mind
(Tognini Bonelli 2001)
