„Kalt erwischt!“ Between phraseography and language use: some remarks concerning the role of corpus analysis in the lexicography

Summary/Abstract: In the past decades the lexicographic research was increasingly focused on the role of new tools such as corpus-based methods in the practical and theoretical work. Sulikowska compares in this paper the description and definition of a German idiom “jmdn. halt erwischen” in monolingual and bilingual dictionaries with corpus-based analysis of its form, frequency, meaning and grammar. She indicates relevant differences between its lexicographical description and the actual meaning and emphasizes the importance of supporting compilers' work within corpus linguistics.
