This book is part of the CorpusLAB series which helps students to learn English as it is really used.

For this title, frequent phrasal verbs in spoken, written, and email business texts have been identified and presented along with an indication of their frequency. For each phrasal verb, several meanings are typically presented, along with illustrative sentences based on corpus data. Thus the basic use is presented, but the more metaphorical uses, which are often more frequent than the core, concrete use, are also highlighted.

In addition, the frequent collocates of each phrasal verb are also included in the examples. For example, for one meaning of the verb "look at", the pattern is "the report/study looked at ..." In this example, "report" is a collocation of "look at". Another use of "look at" is associated with the collocation "big picture" to give the idiom "look at the big picture".

A couple of sample units from Phrasal Verbs in Business, which is suitable for Intermediate Level students, will be available as a pdf file shortly.

Corpus results show that frequency and collocation information changes according to text type. To reflect this fact, we will be producing versions of these books for different fields. The book Phrasal Verbs in Business is the first of these specialized titles.
