[Corpora-List] intuitions about co-occurrence: SUMMARY

[Marco Baroni]

Dear Corpora Listers,

About one week ago I asked this list for references concerning the 
following question:

"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 the two terms in a corpus?"

Several people have kindly replied to my inquiry: Alessandro Lenci, 
Michal Ptaszynki, Adam Kilgarriff, Stefania Spina, Sylviane Granger, 
Luca Toldo, Paul Nulty, Ute Römer, David Oakey and Adriano Ferraresi. 
Thanks to you all!

In the end, none of the papers that were suggested addressed the 
question above, although they did address a number of related (and 
interesting) questions, such as correlation between corpus frequencies 
and plausibility judgments, intuitions about collocativity, etc. Here is 
a list of the references that were mentioned in the thread:

will be to me!
