AB This article argues that the systemic study of the realisational relationshipwhich holds between “meaning” and “form” could benefit fromthe appropriation of recent advances in the field of Corpus Linguistics.We take as our point of departure the key systemic contention that themeaning potential of language can be ultimately reduced down to finitesystem networks of choices, whose most delicate realisations —i.e. theultimate units conveying meaning— have so far received a relativelysmall amount of scholarly attention. By contrast, the fact that meaningoften spans several lexical units correlating with distinctive grammaticalpatterns has come to feature increasingly higher in the researchagenda of corpus linguists, thus bringing to the fore the importance ofthe so-called “co-selectional” relationships. This article illustrates thedynamics of this relationship between lexis and grammar by drawingon a corpus-based analysis of semi-idiomatic expressions. Further, itattempts to stake out some sort of middle ground between SystemicFunctional and Corpus Linguistics as well as find a common underpinningto the formal realisation of meaning.
