[Lexicog] phraseology collecting

[Danko.Sipka]

The simplest way would be to do it in the Oslo corpus at
http://www.tekstlab.uio.no/norsk/bokmaal/english.html
Look under Available Search Methods, then Searching by regular expression.
If you are interested in the statistics bigrams in any text corpus, I have
built an open-source tool under:
http://main.amu.edu.pl/~dsipka/lingo.htm or http://cli.la.asu.edu/lingo.htm.
If you chose the 1 x 1 lex. combinatorics option and then paste a text, it
will tabulate what the combinations are and what their frequency is. My
first choice however would be the Oslo Corpus. Once you get your data their,
you can run your statistics in any statistical package.
Best,

Danko
