Collocation and language theory: recent developments

  • Chapter
Collocation

Abstract

Sections 2.1 to 2.3 above discussed the impact that collocation has had on modern linguistic theory. In particular, towards the end of section 2.3 it was suggested that any move away from the open-choice model of language towards the idiom principle in the interpretation of texts has significant implications for the basis of the production of texts. This part of the book focuses specifically on these implications and on the areas of linguistic theory most affected.
