Abstract
In this paper concepts from cognitive linguistics are combined with assumptions and methods from corpus linguistics in order to study categorisation in everyday life. The notion of categorisation, although ambiguous, will cover both the act of setting up categories and the act of identifying instances of a category. The presentation and discussion of current linguistic thinking in "categorisation theory" will entail a reassessment of the notion of binarism as popularised in structural linguistics, preferably following Langacker's A → B principle.
