Abstract
This article outlines the methodology and results of a three-year research project (2013-2016) focusing on the analysis and the didactics of Italian collocations and phrasemes (LeKo). LeKo, a joint project between the University of Innsbruck and Eurac Research, is particularly noteworthy as it combines phraseological studies (with an emphasis on German and Italian) with corpus linguistics and, to a lesser extent, lexicography. LeKo’s main innovative goal was to collect data to develop teaching material on Italian phraseodidactics for German-speaking learners.
