Grammar coding in the Oxford advanced learner's dictionary of current English
This paper deals with the revised system of grammar coding for verbs in the fourth edition of the Oxford advanced learner's dictionary of current English , comparing it with its two greatest rivals (the Longman and COBUILD EFL dictionaries). It is shown that OALD4 scores more favourably than the others on six criteria: a) the grammar codes must be unambiguous and easy to use, b) every verb entry must include at least one code, which should be sel…

On the Relationship between Lexis and Grammar in English Learners' Dictionaries
In the last few decades more attention has been paid to the inclusion of grammatical details in EFL dictionaries. The usefulness of this kind of information is questioned by few, although there may be some differences of opinion as to how and how much of this information is to be given.

The syntax and interpretation of futurate conditionals in English
Defining the constraints on the use of the modals will and would in futurate if -clauses in English poses problems to both descriptive and theoretical linguists. One ‘rule’ often referred to is that while future will and counter- factual would do not normally occur in conditional sub-clauses with if , volitional and dispositional will and would can be used in that context. This paper attempts to account for this general rule and for the so-called…

Points of modern English syntax LXVI: New questions
Aphra Behn and the royal slave Oroonoko

A True History is based on her own experiences in that country, has exercised the minds of numerous writers. In the course of time both negative and positive answers have been given, and the matter has given rise to heated controversy among literary historians. Although it no…
