What’s new?We think it’s essential that learners have access to realand up-to-date examples of English. That’s why we arecommitted to creating materials that are authentic, highquality and easy to use.The mission to produce authentic materials has been atthe heart of our ELT publishing since 1987 – when thefirst Collins COBUILD dictionary was published.NEWCOURSECollins ELT 2016About Collins ELTGet Ready forIELTSpage 24Authentic, accurate and up-to-date EnglishWhat does COBUILD mean?Collins Birmingham University International Language Database(COBUILD) was a research project set up by the University ofBirmingham and Collins in the 1980s, run by the pioneering linguistJohn Sinclair. It resulted in the creation of an electronic corpus thatrevolutionised dictionary making.Why does COBUILD matter?English for Mathematicspage 8The original COBUILD dictionary, published in 1987, was the firstof a new generation of dictionaries for learners based on actualcorpus evidence rather than on the compilers’ intuition. Collins hascontinued to build on this pioneering research, delivering real Englishto students and teachers around the world.How do we use COBUILD?COBUILD is now part of the Collins Corpus, which is the largestcollection of authentic English language data in the world. It isconstantly updated to reflect current language use and continues toinform our dictionary and ELT publishing.COBUILD American Learner’sDictionary, third editionpage 51COBUILD American BasicDictionary, second editionpage k1
