The Words You Need
This book is an invaluable tool for developing collocational sensitivity. It was first published in 1981 and later in 1995.
It presents texts which contextualize the words they focus on. They then have a section on word study. One important part of this are semantic matrices, or 'componential grids'.
Ideal as a supplementary material for CAE or CPE preparation classes.
Quality is tolerable.
