Corpus linguistics is a rich source of information for lexical research. The use of computers can make this source easily accessible. Computer readable corpora may be enriched in various degrees: from untagged upto fully syntactically labeled. In this paper it is shown that a syntactically labeled corpus provides a better lab for lexical research than one that has been tagged for word classes. For this purpose we use some example investigations that were actually carried out on an existing analyzed corpus of English.
