Collocation Options
WebCorp Collocation Options
  • External Collocates: When selected, this option outputs a table of frequencies for words in the four positions to the left and to the right of the search term.
     
  • Internal Collocates: If this option is selected and your search term is a pattern containing wildcards, a table is returned containing the most frequent words occupying those wildcard positions. The wildcard positions are numbered sequentially from left to right as they appear in the search term.
     
  • Exclude Stopwords: This option filters out high frequency words (e.g. the, of) from the collocate tables.
