In the Collins Polish /English Dictionary we did make use of corpus
resources but since I was employed only for translating and
redesigning entries, I cannot provide any more details. From what I
know, negative selection was performed based on available
opportunistic Polish language resources. However, while we're on
this point, the major strength of the dictionary is its serious, learner-
oriented style of presenting the Polish entries: grammar is given for
each entry and a carefully designed, not-tto-lengthy introduction
covering all the major declensions etc is given.
