- Abstract
- The use of the World Wide Web for linguistic purposes is a fairly recent development. In their everyday practice, more and more teachers, language students, linguists or translators take recourse to the Internet in order to check the spelling, use or meaning of a given word or phrase. In the present article, we will briefly sketch the theoretical issues in-volved in the use of the Web for research on phraseology. At the same time, a few practical examples will be discussed within the framework of a computational approach. The general term set phrase will be used as an English equivalent of the German Phraseologismus in the broad sense, as defined by H. Burger (1998). It thus includes all fixed expressions of a language, such as collocations, idioms, quasi-idioms, catch phrases, routines, proverbs.
