[Corpora-List] Measuring relative collocational strength

[Stefan Th. Gries]

As usual with regard to this topic, let me contradict Adam's view by
pointing (as usual) to my response to his article, which shows that
when corrections for multiple post-hoc tests are used, p-values can in
fact do exactly what they are supposed to. Also, cf.

Gries, Stefan Th. 2001. A corpus-linguistic analysis of -ic and -ical
adjectives. ICAME Journal 25. 65-108.
Gries, Stefan Th. 2003. Testing the sub-test: a collocational-overlap
analysis of English -ic and -ical adjectives. International Journal of
Corpus Linguistics 8(1). 31-61.

where I show that, using an approach I developed myself and Church et
al'.s distinctive collocate strength approach (with a t-score) do
provide linguistically interesting results.
