Subject:Collocation span in Arabic query

Dear All,

In English, a 5 word span to left and right of a node word is considered
optimal for extracting collocations, I think John Sinclair with one  
of his
colleagues published a paper
suggesting this in the late 60's and many have followed this path in  
corpus
linguistics and related fields. I wonder if anyone has come through a
reference that suggests the optimal word span for collocation  
analysis in
Arabic?

Many Thanks,
Yousif Almas
