[Corpora-List] Collocations & BNC

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Bob,

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  *Collocationality* (and how to measure
it)<http://216.239.59.104/Publications/2006-K-ELX-colloc.doc>
*Proc. Euralex 2006.*  Torino, Italy.

And of course, the measure(s) you want all depend in what you want it/them
for,

Best

Adam
