John Sinclair’s impact on dictionary making and his pioneering work on corpus research (Sinclair 1987, 1991, 2004) have been the starting point for many corpus-based approaches to language teaching (Wichmannet al. 1997; Burnard and McEnery 2000; Granger et al. 2002; Kettemann and Marko 2002; Aston et al. 2004; O’Keefe et al. 2007; Aijmer 2009, to name but a few). The common ground for all these approaches is that they are based on empirical evidence, thus leading to the elaboration of better quality learner input and providing teachers and researchers with a wider, fi ner perspective into language in use, that is, into the understanding of how language works in specifi c contexts. From its origins, Corpus Linguistics has had a strong link with language.
