[Corpora-List] intuitions about co-occurrence

[Ute Römer]

Hi Marco, 

 

I have two references that don’t cover EXACTLY what you’re looking for but
discuss related research that may be of interest. 

 

The first one is Stefanie Wulff’s monograph Rethinking Idiomaticity
(http://books.google.com/books/about/Rethinking_Idiomaticity.html?id=uD5oet7
okb0C) which combines corpus evidence and speaker judgments on frequent
English idioms. Also, Nick Ellis, Matt O’Donnell and I are working on a
study of verb-argument constructions in which we compare verb/construction
co-occurrence data from the BNC with L1 and L2 speaker responses collected
in free association and lexical production tasks (so not word-word
associations but word-construction associations). We outline the core
components of the project in Ellis, Nick C., Matthew B. O'Donnell & Ute
Römer. 2013. Usage-based language: Investigating the latent structures that
underpin acquisition. Language Learning 63(Supp. 1): 25-51. Let me know if
you would like more information on the project. 

 

Best wishes,

Ute

Hi Marco,

The following study may be of interest:

R. SIMPSON-VLACH and N. C. ELLIS (2010). An Academic Formulas List: New
Methods in Phraseology Research. Applied Linguistics: 31/4: 487–512 

In this study the authors have asked teachers to rate a series of
co-occurrences selected on the basis of n-gram length, frequency band and MI
band.

Best wishes,

Sylviane

Dear Corpora-ers,

Is anybody aware of experimental studies where researchers have looked at
whether subjects' explicit intuitions about the probability of co-occurrence
of two terms correlate with (functions of) the frequency of co-occurrence of
two terms in a corpus?

I am aware of studies correlating other psychological variables, such as the
degree of association of words in free association norms, with corpus
co-occurrence, but I was not able to find anything relevant to the specific
question I'm asking above.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Ciao,

Marco
