[Corpora-List] MI for more than 2 items

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Mike,

I've reviewed a few papers proposing more-than-two-word salience stats but
I don't think any of them have produced linguistically convincing results.

In the Sketch Engine we've pursued a couple of other strategies to tackle
the issue, see

Words<http://trac.sketchengine.co.uk/attachment/wiki/AK/Papers/multiwords.pdf?format=raw><http://trac.sketchengine.co.uk/raw-attachment/wiki/AK/Papers/multiwords.pdf?format=raw>
      - Adam Kilgarriff, Pavel Rychly, Vojtech Kovar, Vit Baisa
      - in: *Proc. EURALEX *, Oslo, August.
