This idiomatic view of language has been supported by findings of studies on language processing (Becker, 1975; Pawley and Syder, 1983) and corpus studies (Sinclair, 1987; Renouf and Sinclair, 1991; Altenberg, 1998).

Indeed, the use of prefabs in texts is so pervasive that Sinclair (1987) put forward the ‘idiom principle’ to explain the way in which meaning arises from text.

Gitsaki (1999), in this regard, reviewed in meticulousness the three main approaches to collocations: lexical, semantics and structural.

Sinclair (1991, p. 170) went on to define collocation as ‘the occurrence of two or more words within a short space of each other in a ‘text’ and distinguished the ‘significant’ (i.e. frequent) collocation from the ‘casual’ (i.e. infrequent) ones.

That is to say, it is the semantic properties of a lexical item that determine its collocates (Chomsky, 1965; Lyons, 1977; Katz and Fodor, 1963; Lehrer, 1974; Cruse, 1986).
