Collocation Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Collocation Analysis

Collocation analysis is a statistical text-mining technique that identifies word pairs or expressions that frequently occur together, using association measures rather than chance co-occurrence. Introduced in the lexicography work of Church and Hanks (1990), it is used for terminology extraction and language analysis, surfacing the multi-word units that carry meaning in a corpus.
