This corpus-based study has been conducted in the realm of phraseology
aiming at providing similarity and discrepancy in the usage between two
synonymous nouns;type and kind. It applies Sinclair’s (1991) Model of
‘expanded unit of meaning’. The analysis consists of four levels: Collocation,
Colligation, Semantic Preference and Semantic Prosody with the help of three
softwares: iWeb BYU corpus, Just the Word based on BNC and Sketch Engine,
based on two corpora: iWeb corpus and BNC. Similarity with varying degrees
between the use of the nodes at the levels of Colligation and Semantic Prosody
is found, whereas discrepancy at the levels of Colligation and Semantic
Preference is evident. The study is unique in providing a complete description
of the node items at four levels, rarely found in the available studies and helpful
for lexicography and ESL pedagogy by offering detailed, accurate and
complete picture with reference to contemporary real life language use.
