<BLOCKQUOTE><TT>There was a posting yesterday in the Corpora-List which
referred to a <BR>term that I had not run across before, 'semantic
prosody'. The notion <BR>is that some words collocate not just with
particular other words ('arm' <BR>and 'akimbo'), but with semantic classes of
words ('career' tends to <BR>collate with words that have a positive sense,
whereas 'job' exhibits no <BR>such tendency).<BR><BR>I suspect this is a
largely unexplored area of lexicography, although I <BR>could just be
ignorant. At any rate, one of the msgs in that list gave <BR>a link to a
recent on-line thesis by Mike Nelson (Sea Hunt, anyone?) <BR>which studied
business English. Not one of my favorite subjects, but <BR>chapter 4 of
the thesis surveys a number of concepts that may be of <BR>interest to this
list, including semantic prosody, collocation, <BR>colligation (another new
term to me), and multi-word items.<BR><BR>The URL is <A
