Abstract:	This article seeks to show that, for any kind of lexicographical work, having a corpus of texts is as important as having a well-developed body on which to base a study of its anatomy. A special-purpose dictionary and standard general-purpose North American dictionaries are discussed as examples of entries, definitions, and illustrative material that could have benefited from a database capable of supplying a minimal 20 million citations.
