תקציר	N-gram analysis is a corpus-linguistic technique that extracts and ranks every contiguous sequence of n words (or characters) in a corpus, exposing the recurrent multi-word units — two-word bigrams, three-word trigrams, and longer 'lexical bundles' — that make up a register or text type. By counting how often each sequence recurs, it reveals the prefabricated, formulaic backbone of language that single-word frequency lists cannot capture.	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.
