<DIV><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Thanks for that. I was going to complain, but thought it could be a result of my use of Mac OS 10 + Safari. The new link works, perfectly, and the paper looks intriguing. Just as soon as I find the right box and unpack my printer I shall read it in the sun. <BR><BR>But do you also know of anything available on the relationship between collocationality and (what are becoming known as) multi-word expressions? I am aware that Wray wrote on the latter recently, though I yet to get hold of the book. I believe that someone on the list recently proposed a workshop(?) on a corpus-based approach to MWEs, but, of course I’ve lost the reference.<BR><BR>Oh, by the way: corpus, corpus, corpus.<BR><BR>Thanks again.<BR><BR>DJ Hatch<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>On 31/3/08 10:59, "Adam Kilgarriff" <adam@lexmasterclass.com> wrote:<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT>
