The focus is on simple, pattern-free sewing that requires no previous experience. Every project is shown in a full-color photo accompanied by step-by-step, illustrated instructions. Many more variations in size, fabric combinations, and styling features are also pictured to show just a few of the dozens of possibilities for customizing each project

A good knowledge of collocations (typical word combinations) is essential for fluent and natural-sounding English.

The papers comprising this volume focus on a broad range of acquisition phenomena (subject dislocation, structural case, word order, determiners, pronouns, quantifiers and logical words) from different languages and language combinations.
The proposition that there is a correlation between language and
culture or culture-specific ways of thinking can be traced back to the
views of Herder and von Humboldt in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries. It is generally accepted today that a language, especially
its lexicon, influences its speakers' cultural patterns of thought and
perception in various ways, for example through a culture-specific
segmentation of the extralinguistic reality, the frequency of
occurrence of particular lexical items, or the existence of keywords or
key word combinations revealing core cultural values. The aim of this
volume is to explore the cultural dimension of a wide range of
preconstructed or semi-preconstructed word combinations in English. The
17 papers of the volume are divided into four sections, focusing on
particular lexemes (e.g. enjoy and its collocates), types of word
combinations (e.g. proverbs and similes), use-related varieties (such
as the language of tourism or answering-machine messages), and
user-related varieties (such as Aboriginal English or African English).
This is an amazingly simple but powerful language resource. On this CD-ROM you have access at the click of a button to 140,000 English collocations (frequent word combinations) and 2,600,000 real examples of how these word combinations are used. The collocations and the real examples are extracted from a corpus of 200 million words: the Bank of English. Here you will discover idioms, phrasal verbs, compounds, fixed phrases and grammatical patterns fully supported with evidence from authentic speech and writing.
