FLAX LEARNING COLLOCATIONS

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are many definitions of collocation. We think of collocations in the same way as expressed by Benson et al.: "In any language, certain words combine with certain other words or grammatical constructions. These recurrent, semi-fixed combinations, or collocations, can be divided into two groups: grammatical collocations and lexical collocations."

Enter this collection to search for the company words keep. How words form into collocational patterns will be revealed by looking across the 100 million-word British National Corpus (BNC) reference corpus, the British Academic Written English (BAWE) corpus of 2500 university student writing texts and the Wikipedia crowd-sourced corpus of three million articles.

Featuring:

The Wikipedia Miner Toolkit, based on artificial intelligence designs, for searching across the corpora and presenting collocations in a user-friendly interface.

The Cherry Basket for saving collocations from across the corpora using the Cherry Picking function, and where collocations can be stored for re-use and printed or saved as export files.

Game-based activities for playing with collocations and advancing your English proficiency.

Students at a local senior high school in Fengqiu County of central China's Henan Province have participated in their final exam held on June 3, 2015, at some poplar woods on campus, rather than in classrooms. The forest covers an area of 3,000 square meters, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere without any disturbances and feelings of oppression, compared to sitting indoors.

美「29號公路蝙蝠俠」遭遇車禍去世（英文）(New Y Times)

摘要： 美國失去了一位「超級英雄」。多年來裝扮成「蝙蝠俠」前往醫院、學校等地探望重症兒童，為他們帶去禮物和歡樂的「29號公路蝙蝠俠」周日遭遇車禍不幸身亡。真名為萊昂納德·羅賓森的這位馬里蘭州商人現年51歲，多年來，他裝扮成蝙蝠俠，開着自己改裝的「蝙蝠車」，四處探訪醫院裡的病童，自掏腰包為孩子們買各種禮物，成為了孩子們心目中真正的超級英雄。

A Maryland businessman who thrilled thousands of sick children with his impersonation of Batman over more than a decade was hit by a car and killed on Sunday on a highway in western Maryland, the state police said.

The man's real name was not Bruce Wayne, but Leonard B. Robinson, 51, the father of three adult children from Owings Mills, Md., near Baltimore. For years he visited hospitals, schools and charity events dressed as the Dark Knight to the delight of thousands of children battling cancers and other serious diseases as well as bullying. He gave out thousands of dollars worth of gifts and books and signed autographs as "Batman."

The police said Mr. Robinson was having engine trouble late Sunday and had pulled over on Interstate 70 to look under the hood of his Batmobile, a custom-made black car decked out with the superhero's insignia. He was standing on the car's passenger side, which was still partly in the fast lane, when he was struck by a Toyota Camry that sideswiped the Batmobile.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Camry was not injured and no charges were filed against him, the police said.

Mr. Robinson gained national attention in 2012 after dash-cam video of him being stopped by police officers in Silver Spring, Md., went viral. He was pulled over for failing to display a license plate, but the officers, who were amused by the encounter, promptly let him go without a ticket so that he would not be late to an event at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. The video has been watched more than 940,000 times on YouTube alone.

"When we replay the traffic-stop video, we smile and laugh, fondly remembering the day that MCP met a real superhero," the Montgomery County Police Department said in a statement. "We hope that the Dark Knight's bright light shines on."

Mr. Robinson, who made a fortune building a cleaning business that he later sold, began masquerading as the Dark Knight in 2001 to cater to an obsession of his youngest son. The boy grew up, but the role grew on Mr. Robinson, who became known variously as the Route 29 Batman, Beltway Batman and Baltimore Batman.

"Eventually, it sinks in and you become him," he told The Washington Post in 2012. "It feels like I have a responsibility that's beyond a normal person. And that responsibility is to be there for the kids, to be strong for them, and to make them smile as much as I can."

Sharen Sumpter-Deitz, a board member of the South Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau in West Virginia, said in a post on Facebook that Mr. Robinson was returning home from his third appearance at a festival there.

He worked closely with Hope for Henry, a charity that throws superhero parties in hospitals and was founded by a couple whose son died from a rare blood disorder. "Our superhero, Lenny B. Robinson, is gone," the charity said on Facebook on Monday. "So, so sad."
