Collins, providing the passport to succeed in English.

About COBUILDCollins, in association with the University of Birmingham, and led by the pioneering linguist John Sinclair, developed the very first corpus of English in the 1980s. This corpus -the Collins Birmingham University International Language Database (COBUILD)-revolutionized dictionaries for learners of English. It became the largest collection of English data in the world, bringing together words from written and spoken English to provide evidence of how English was really used. This meant that dictionary writers no longer had to rely on their own intuition about English, but could check millions of words of data to see, for example, which senses of a word might be the most frequently used, which words ‘go’ together, how words are really used in sentences, and to find authentic examples of English in use.

The first COBUILD dictionary was published in 1987, and it has been regularly updated ever since. The Collins corpus now contains over 4 billion words taken from websites, newspapers, magazines and books published all over the world, and spoken material from radio, TV and everyday conversations. It is updated every month to ensure that Collins captures new words and meanings as they enter the language.

This means that you can rely on Collins, and Collins COBUILD: all of our explanations, examples and special features are based on analysis of the Collins corpus, so you can trust Collins to help you speak and write accurate, effective, and up-to-date English.

Collins is proud to introduce an accessible range of self-study courses, skills and reference books to the ELT market, perfect for home study and classroom use, powered by Cobuild.

We want to give learners of English the linguistic passport they need to succeed in their IELTS exams, to conduct business with flair and confidence in English and to prepare them for living in English-speaking countries.

At Collins, we want to give learners of English the chance to get their English from where it is to where it needs to be.
