[Corpora-List] R: Collocations & BNC

Dear DJ Hatch,
here is the link to the workshop you have lost.
 
LREC 2008 Workshop Towards a Shared Task for Multiword Expressions (MWE 2008), 1 June 2008, Marrakech, Morocco. Workshop homepage: http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2008/ <http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2008/> 
 
Best,
Denise

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. 

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.

Oh, by the way: corpus, corpus, corpus.

Thanks again.

DJ Hatch

		Adam, the link to your paper on collocationality seems to be broken.

			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> <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

				Greetings:
				Does anyone know of a ranked list of words measuring both word
				frequency and degree of collocation ....  In other words, a list that
				ranks words in terms of the frequency with which they appear in text
				(e.g. BNC), and also the frequency with which they appear with other
				words, and factoring in the degree to which the collocation is bound?
				Thanks,
				Bob
