[Corpora-List] Surprisingly large MI scores

[Serge Sharoff]

just to add another example:
http://corpus.leeds.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cqp.pl?c=BNC&mistat=on&cleft=3&cright=3&cfilter=&searchtype=colloc&q=purple%25

I guess one reason for the difference is the way we count the number of
words.  I use what's returned by CWB, hence this includes all tokens,
including punctuation marks.
