Abstract
There is nowadays a broad consensus on the recourse to corpora in linguistic research. This is, however, not a matter of evidence in contrastive phraseology, because many examples of a given set phrase, especially a phraseme (idiom) can only be retrieved from very large corpora. While corpora of medium size can provide a general picture of some grammatical or cultural aspects of contrastive phraseology, it is necessary to use Web-driven corpora in order to access the full palette of set phrases in context. Recent developments, especially the WaCky project, open up new possibilities of checking the traditional hypotheses of contrastive phraseology against hard evidence. At the same time, huge linguistic corpora may shed a new light on the pivotal role of contrastive phraseology in language learning and translation studies.
