| Abstract | Dictionaries vary in their presentation of grammatical information but agree in assigning words to discrete grammatical categories, or at least in implying such assignment. But linguists like Halliday and Sinclair have argued that grammar is probabilistic rather than categorical. Corpus evidence shows that it is indeed more realistic to describe typical patterns than to insist on categorisation. Carefully chosen examples can signal typical usage without the need for rigid categorisation. |
