exploiting a large dictionary data base
Archibal Michiels
Most prominent among these are the rich grammatical subcategorisations of the 60,000 entries , the large amount of information concerning phrasal verbs , noun compounds and idioms , the individual subject , collocational and semantic codes for the entries and the consistent use of a controlled ` core ' vocabulary in defining the words throughout the dictionary . ( Michiels ( 1982 ) contains further description and discussion of LDOCE . ) In this paper we focus on the exploitation of the LDOCE grammar coding system ; Alshawi et al. ( 1985 ) and Alshawi ( 1987 ) describe further research in Cambridge utilising different types of information available in LDOCE .
