<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>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>
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 <B>Collocationality</B> (and how to measure it) <a href="http://216.239.59.104/Publications/2006-K-ELX-colloc.doc"><http://216.239.59.104/Publications/2006-K-ELX-colloc.doc></a> <I>Proc. Euralex 2006.</I> Torino, Italy. <BR>
<BR>
And of course, the measure(s) you want all depend in what you want it/them for,<BR>
<BR>

Does anyone know of a ranked list of words measuring both word<BR>
frequency and degree of collocation .... In other words, a list that<BR>
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>
