<div>Bob,</div>

<div>the problem is, it is not clear how to measure "degree of collocation" (or, worse, "the degree to which it is [they are??] bound"). I proposed a method for the first task in <a href="http://216.239.59.104/Publications/2006-K-ELX-colloc.doc"><b style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66">Collocationality</b> (and how to measure it)</a> <em>Proc. Euralex 2006.</em> Torino, Italy. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And of course, the measure(s) you want all depend in what you want it/them for,</div>

ranks words in terms of the frequency with which they appear in text<br>(e.g. BNC), and also the frequency with which they appear with other<br>words, and factoring in the degree to which the collocation is bound?<br>Thanks,<br>
