Look at this version of the introduction. What
do the parts printed in bold in square brackets

An attempt to free grammatical words from
structural constraints eg would, any
Language consists of grammaticalised
lexis, not lexicalised grammar.
The grammar/vocabulary dichotomy is
invalid; much language consists of multi-
words 'chunks'.
A central element of language teaching
is raising students' awareness of, and
developing their ability to 'chunk'
language successfully.
Although structural patterns are known
as useful, lexical and metaphorical
patterning are accorded appropriate
status.
Collocation is integrated as an
organising principle within syllabuses.
The central metaphor of language is
holistic - an organism; not atomistic - a
machine.
It is the co-textual rather than the situational
element of context which are of primary
importance for language teaching.
