DICTIONARIES OF COLLOCATIONS

In order to buy a dictionary, it is essential that you know about it and that you compare the same kind of dictionary against others of a similar type(for example, a learner's dictionary cannot be compared with a dictionary of phrasal verbs because the criterion for developing each one of them has been different).
Here are samples of two dictionaries of collocations available in the market so that you can browse through them and make the best decision(just click on the name to have access to the sample pages)
