Abstract
This chapter presents the glossary of collocations of key terms identified in the EU English Competition Corpus for the purposes of the analysis presented in previous chapter. The aim of compiling a glossary of collocations and other phrasemes was to assist legal practitioners and other professionals who are non-native speakers of English in the reception and production of legal texts on Competition Law. Each entry consists of a key term-node in the nominal form, followed by its pronunciation, frequency of use and derivatives. The core of an entry comprises three types of collocational patterns of terms: adjectival patterns, nominal/prepositional patterns and verbal patterns.

For the sake of simplicity and functionality of a glossary, what we refer to as derivatives are in fact basic forms from which nominal term-nodes are derived, e.g. the term-node leniency derives from the adjective lenient, and not vice versa.
