About this product
The Lexical Approach develops current thinking, synthesising the best insights of previous theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and modern approaches to businessTHE LEXICAL APPROACH develops current thinking, synthesizing the best insights of previous theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and modern approaches to grammar.
Principles of THE LEXICAL APPROACH include:the grammar, vocabulary dichotomy is invalid; collocation is used as an organizing principle; successful language is a wider concept than accurate language; the Observe-Hypothesize-Experiment cycle replaces the Present-Practice-Produce paradigm; and, most importantly, language consists of grammatacalized lexis, not lexicalized grammar.
