“…remains a dictionary of a linguist, by a linguist, and for a linguist" (Ptaszy ski, 2011, p. 151). Coffey (2011), who has assessed the Macmillan Collocations Dictionary for Learners of English (2010), finds it well planned as a pedagogical dictionary. It offers learners ways to find relevant collocations easily, for instance, by grouping collocates in semantic sets with their meanings provided.…”

The present study explores the relationship between controlled productive knowledge of collocations and L2 proficiency, the role of frequency in controlled productive knowledge of collocations, and the quantifiability of controlled productive collocational knowledge growth alongside L2 proficiency and word frequency levels.A proficiency measure and a productive collocation test modelled on Laufer and Nation (1999) were presented to Belgian and Burundian English majors. The results show that scores on both tests distinguish between proficiency levels and, furthermore, highly correlate. This suggests that controlled productive knowledge of collocations develops as proficiency increases, supporting earlier studies (Boers,

“…In the OOCDE base words are defined minimally, while collocates and whole collocations are not defined at all. The aim of this is to help learners focus on the reference work (Coffey 2010). Besides, as Coffey (2010) also points out, meanings of collocates are supposed to be either known earlier or inferable from their semantic set or demonstrative instances.…”

Reviewed by Pedro A. Fuertes-OliveraUniversidad de Valladolid, Spain 1. INTRODUCTION The Macmillan Collocations Dictionary for Learners of English (MCD) is a monolingual print dictionary aimed primarily at helping upper-intermediate to advanced students in productive use situations, such as taking English exams (especially the IELTS exams) and working in academic or professional environments. It has over 121,000 collocational phrases, a figure that leads Coffey to claim that the MCD attaches more collocates to each headword than competing dictionaries, for example, the Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English (OCD) (Coffey 2011: 329).
