Abstract
This paper presents a corpus-based analysis of collocations in blogs.
It analyses collocations in three small subcorpora, focusing on books and
writing, health and fitness, and personal experiences. The analysis includes
a selection of the ten most frequent nouns from the wordlists produced
by Sketch Engine[1] and the investigation of their word sketches. The
collocations included in the analysis are of the “modifiers of x” and “verbs
with x as object” structure. The results suggest that blogs are a snapshot of
a domain-specific phraseology, thus representing a valuable resource both
for bloggers and language learners.
