A collocation dictionary is similar to, but not exactly, what you're looking for. The Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English is an example, and the way an entry is structured is to give different collocations for the key you've looked up.

In a similar vein, there's REDES diccionario combinatorio del español contemporáneo (REDES combinatorial dictionary for contemporary Spanish) for Spanish. In addition to collocations, it presents linguistic restrictions on what kinds of words can pair with or occur near whatever word you've looked up. It doesn't necessarily present its collocations and entries as constructions, but it does end up inadvertently giving information that could easily lend itself to construction grammar. There's a flash website here that gives examples of the kinds of entries it has. It's in Spanish, and Google can't translate Flash apps, so it might not be accessible for you, though.

All of the big Advanced Learner dictionaries will work for that: Merriam-Webster's, Collins COBUILD, Cambridge, Oxford - American and so on.

However... studying vocabulary from a dictionary is not optimal. I like vocabulary builders for that a lot more: Merriam-Websters and Oxford American are the the two I had used - plus TOEFL, CPE and IELTS vocabulary books. And Swan's Practical English Usage - that last section is a gold mine - highlighting the small differences between words and expressions and whatsnot). And I had found Oxford Collocations Dictionary very useful as well.

And do not underestimate the online resources - all of the big dictionaries are also online and you can look up examples and explanations very easy.

Does anyone know of any J->E collocation dictionaries? I know the book "Common Japanese Collocations," but can't seem to find anything like a bilingual edition of the Oxford Collocations Dictionary.
