Abstract

As phraseology moves ever more into the mainstream of corpus linguistics research, it is no longer acceptable to limit the language studied to canonical, dictionary citation forms. But how can others be retrieved, when precise forms they take are not known? This paper sets out some general principles for retrieving non-canonical examples, using collocational frameworks, and expands upon the utility of analysing the innovative alongside the ordinary.
