Pattern Grammar is a model for describing the syntactic environments of individual lexical items, derived from studying their occurrences in authentic linguistic corpora. It was developed by Hunston, Francis, and Manning as part of the COBUILD project. Each word has a set of patterns assigned to it which describe typical contexts in which they are used. Often these are separate for different word senses. Pattern Notation Patterns are given as sequence of lower case grammatical elements, with the central element of the pattern in upper case. The elements are either labels for grammatical categories v for verb, n for noun group, prep for preposition or actual lexical items for example specific prepositions . While mostly informal, this notation can easily be transformed into a format suitable for parsing . Examples SKIM The word skim includes the following patterns in the COBUILD dictionary V n off from n Skim is a verb, and as the pattern describes its behaviour it is in upper case. The verb is then followed by a noun group, a preposition either off or from and a second noun group. This pattern applies for example to She skimmed the cream off the milk . The choice of preposition is limited to those two options, which is why they are specified directly instead of using the broader category prep . V n This pattern describes the use of skim in ...re surface all the walls by skimming the surface smooth ready for painting...

Graft is form of political corruption that can be defined as an unscrupulous use of a politician s authority for personal gain. Most governmental systems have laws in place to prevent graft although this does not always halt political corruption. Example A traditional example of political graft is someone exchanges a political donation for political favor e.g. ristournes in Quebec or tangenti in Italy . Grafting, however, does not require another individual to be involved. It is possible to skim money directly from government funds, commit acts like insider trading, or buy land that the politician knows will soon be needed for government development.
