ColloCaid Sample Data

COLLOCAID SAMPLE DATA

The ColloCaid Sample Data comprises approximately 2% of the ColloCaid lexical database. The sample covers 692 strong academic English collocations (LogDice >5.0) for 16 core academic lemmas used as collocation bases (or nodes): 5 nouns, 5 verbs, and 6 adjectives. The selection aims to give an overview of the range of data included in the full dataset. This includes collocations with bases classified with more than one part-of-speech tag (e.g. DEBATE, INDIVIDUAL), polysemous collocation bases giving rise to distinct collocation patterns (e.g. CODE), as well as collocation bases that evoke a very large and a very small number of collocations. The strongest eight lexical collocations listed for each base are enriched with three different curated example sentences adapted from corpora of expert academic English writing.
