Abstract:

Third edition revised by Robert Ilson.

Compiled by Morton Benson, Evelyn Benson and Robert F. Ilson.

Speak and write perfect English!

BBI teaches you how to combine words with words to form phrases (so you 
can say "mortgaged to the hilt; I want something badly").

BBI also teaches you how to combine words into structures to form clauses 
and sentences (so you can say "I want you to go = What I want is for you to 
go").

So BBI helps you with both vocabulary and grammar. BBI shows you 
important vocabulary and grammatical differences between American and 
British English.

BBI gives you plenty of examples that can serve as models for your own use 
of English. Some of these examples are authentic quotations from works of 
American and British literature.

This Third Edition of the BBI Combinatory Dictionary of English is an 
expanded and updated version of the First Edition (1986), its New Printing 
(1993), and its Revised Edition (1997) all of which were favorably received. In 
this third edition, the contents of the BBI have been increased by over 20%.In 
the selection and presentation of new material, many sources have been 
used, including:

Internet searches; 
The British National Corpus; 
Reading and listening to English-language material; 
For Grammatical Patterns: A Comprehensive Grammar of the English 
Language (Randolph Quirck et al.); 
For Collocations: Lists of Lexical Functions (compiled by Igor Mel'cuk et al.).

The BBI has been "highly recommended" by the English-Speaking Union.

Using the BBI: A workbook with exercises is now available online at:

"The Dictionary of Collocations is more than just a reference book. It is an 
ínvaluable aid for learning words as typically used in their appropriate 
contexts. The individual articles are well worth studying carefully as the 
usage of words is illustrated by real-life phrases which are easy to remember. 
Thus insight is gained into the spirit of the English language and users are 
presented with a treasure-trove of ready-to-use phrases, enabling them to 
express themselves in English accurately and correctly." F.J. Hausmann, 
(University of Erlangen-Nuremberg) in the German edition of The BBI 
Combinatory Dictionary of English entitled Student's Dictionary of 
Collocations (Cornelsen Verlag, Berlin, 1989). Translated from German by 
Mary Snell-Hornby (University of Vienna).

What the critics said about the previous edition:

"This dictionary is a must-have for learners of English as a foreign language. 
It also will be a plus for the library reference collection in order to serve a 
diversified user group." Xiao (Shelley) Yan Zhang 

"A dictionary of essential word combinations, phrasal verbs, and examples of 
complementation and usage for speaking and writing English, for learners of 
English as a foreign language. The revised edition contains some 90,000 
British and American collocations. A special effort has been made to include 
collocations to computer and Internet terms." Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

"This is an extraordinary tool for translators into English. It is a dictionary of 
collocations, and provides information that is hard to find in other dictionaries. 
It helps you find that elusive word that goes with another, and answers 
questions about the preposition to use." Translatum, The Greek Translation 
Vortal
