A Frequency Dictionary of Multi-Word Expressions in British English presents 5,000 of the most common multi-word expressions (MWEs) in contemporary British English, based on data from the British National Corpus 2014.
Organized into ten functional categories-including idioms, phrasal verbs, collocations, and academic or speech formulas-the dictionary provides detailed frequency, dispersion, and association metrics for each entry. Visual aids such as collocation graphs, sparklines and thematic boxes support comprehension and practical use. It is a comprehensive, research-based resource for understanding and using natural, high-frequency expressions in spoken and written English.
