The lexicographical legacy of John Sinclair
No full textJohn Sinclair opened up possibilities for new kinds of dictionaries. He assigned a central role to collocations and phraseology, insisting on close attention to textual evidence coupled with a broad theoretical perspective and ruthless jettisoning of hypotheses that do not fit the facts. He aimed to create dictionaries that would help students to write and speak idiomatically. In the tradition of Dr Johnson and OED, these would be based on evidence rather than speculation, but evidence of contemporary usage, not literary citations. In this paper, I look at some possibilities inspired by this approach. I suggest that a synthesis between Sinclairian corpus linguistics and construction grammar is overdue. © 2008 Oxford University Press. All rights reserved

It was in the idyllic surroundings of his Tuscan Word Centre, and I had four days of exposure to his ideas, his barbed criticisms of my work, and his unrivalled hospitality.
