Keywords: collocations; directionality of relations; corpus-driven approach; ‘valency’ constructions; construction grammar
Summary/Abstract: The article examines the whole population of press_mouth collocation in order to explore the hypothesis of the construction as a basic linguistic unit used spontaneously by native speakers in discourse. The findings are relevant to foreign language learners especially whose own language (in this case Bulgarian) differs so dramatically from English.
