Abstract
The study aims to explore the new opportunities opened by the application of sophisticated tools to large text collections and by the new empirical perspective brought by the quantitatively based and qualitative approaches used in corpus linguistics. Collocations. are focused as a key phenomenon as they provide empirical evidence for background conceptual knowledge and their extraction can give an important contribution to the description of frame elements and in the disambiguation of word sense . Reference is made to the Firthian approach and to Minsky’s and Fillmore’s studies, observing the presence of persisting and non-persisting elements in collocations as well as in frames configurations. The relation between corpus data and frames elements is discussed and briefly illustrated in some case studies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
