Probably the most interesting thing about the Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's English Dictionary are its definitions. They are full sentences, not phrases. For example:
If something comes to fruition, it starts to succeed and produce the results that were intended or hoped for.

Because this definition is a full sentence, it gives you a lot of information. It shows that fruition is usually used in the phrase "come to fruition". How did the editors know that? They used a computer to analyze the COBUILD corpus.

What does this information give you? You can easily build your own correct sentences with the word. For example, you can say "His hopes finally came to fruition" or "Will my plan ever come to fruition?".

Look at a typical definition of fruition in a dictionary which doesn't have full-sentence definitions:
fruition = the realization of something that was desired or hoped for

After reading this definition, you might use the word fruition in incorrect ways. You might think it is correct to say "What about your fruition?" or "Is this book your greatest fruition?". But both sentences are bad English.

Look at another definition from the CCED and compare it with a definition from the the Oxford Wordpower Dictionary:
When a dog wags its tail, it repeatedly waves its tail from side to side. [CCED]

wag = to shake up and down or move from side to side [Oxford Wordpower]

The first definition tells you that the word wag is often used to talk about a dog. The second definition does not tell you that. It is too general. Besides, you can probably see that the CCED's definition is easier to understand.

The definitions in the CCED do not simply tell you what a word means, they tell you how to use it - in what phrases, in what grammar structures, in what context. At the same time, you can understand them easily.

The definitions are also very "natural". They are sentences that could be said by your English teacher or any native speaker of English. Having this dictionary almost feels like having a native speaker friend to answer your questions about English.
