The study is carried out within the framework of a project exploring quantity approximation in various business genres using a contrastive, corpus-driven approach (in Dutch, English and French). The paper sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of using annotated corpora (part-of-speech and semantic tagging) and automatically extracted word lists for onomasiologic 410 0$aStudies in Corpus Linguistics 606 $aCorpora (Linguistics) 606 $aLexicology 606 $aLexical phonology 606 $aGrammaticality (Linguistics) 606 $aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 615 0$aCorpora (Linguistics) 615 0$aLexicology. 615 0$aLexical phonology. 615 0$aGrammaticality (Linguistics) 615 0$aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 676 $a420.1 676 $a420.1/4 701 $aHasselga?rd$b Hilde$01580171 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792146703321 996 $aCorpus perspectives on patterns of lexis$93860885 997 $aUNINA
