-One of the principal properties of [[en:manualy:kontext:index|interface KonText]] is the possibility to use statistical methods to identify [[pojmy:kolokace|collocations]] of a wanted word. By collocation, we understand a meaningful, fixed, syntagmatic sequence of two (or more) words in the immediate context. A collocation consists of a key word (**node** which  usually is also [[en:pojmy:kwic|KWIC]]) and a contextual word (**collocate**). The  list of collocation candidates with which a wanted word or a phrase collocates forms the basis for corpus analysis as it enables us to determine what kind of context is typical for a wanted phenomenon.+One of the principal properties of [[en:manualy:kontext:index|interface KonText]] is the possibility to use statistical methods to identify [[wp>Collocation|collocations]] of a wanted word. By collocation, we understand a meaningful, fixed, syntagmatic sequence of two (or more) words in the immediate proximity.

 [[en:pojmy:asociacni_miry|Association measures]] are used to identify a collocation. [[en:manualy:kontext:index|Interface KonText]] presently employs the following basic ones: t-score, MI, MI3, log likelihood, min. sensitivity, logDice, MI.log_f, relative frequency. Each of the measures is sensitive to different kinds of phrases and each might not work in some cases. It is therefore recommended to combine the measures and compare their output. The statistical analysis by association measures generates a list of collocation **candidates** and it is up to the researcher to decide whether they really are legitimate collocations. [[en:pojmy:asociacni_miry|Association measures]] are used to identify a collocation.

-Suppose that we [[en:manualy:kontext:novy_dotaz|created a concordance]] of lemma //dřevo// in the corpus [[en:cnk:syn2010|SYN2010]]. By clicking on the Collocation item in menu, a form for collocation analysis will appear. In the formit is possible to specify the following values when searching the collocations within the scope of created concordance:+Suppose that we [[en:manualy:kontext:novy_dotaz|created a concordance]] of lemma //dřevo// in the corpus [[en:cnk:syn2010|SYN2010]]. By clicking on the Collocation item in menu, a form for collocation analysis will appear. In the form it is possible to specify the following values when searching the collocations within the scope of created concordance:
  
-  - **Attribute**: the selection of [[en:pojmy:atributy_pozicni|positional attribute]] of a collocate (we can search for surrounding lemmas of the lemma //dřevo//, the words or any other available attributes)+  - **Attribute**: the selection of [[en:pojmy:atributy_pozicni|positional attribute]] of a collocate (we can search for the surrounding lemmas of the lemma //dřevo//, the words or any other available attributes)
   - ** In the range from - to**: specification of the contextual span (in the proximity of [[en:pojmy:kwic|KWIC]]) where the collocates will be searched for (negative numbers indicate the positions preceding KWIC, while the positive ones follow KWIC, cf. [[en:manualy:kontext:frekvencni_distribuce#frekvencni_distribuce_podle_pozicnich_atributu|frequency distribution]]))   - ** In the range from - to**: specification of the contextual span (in the proximity of [[en:pojmy:kwic|KWIC]]) where the collocates will be searched for (negative numbers indicate the positions preceding KWIC, while the positive ones follow KWIC, cf. [[en:manualy:kontext:frekvencni_distribuce#frekvencni_distribuce_podle_pozicnich_atributu|frequency distribution]]))
-  - **Minimum frequency in corpus**: -establishes minimum overall frequency of a unit to be included in the collocate list (provided that the minimum frequency is set on 5, the collocate of lemma //dřevo// cannot be those items that occur in the whole corpus less than 5 times) +  - **Minimum frequency in corpus**: establishes minimum overall frequency of a unit in order to be included in the collocate list (provided that the minimum frequency is set on 5, the collocate of lemma //dřevo// cannot be those items that occur in the whole corpus less than 5 times) 
-  - **Minimum frequency in given range**: provided that we specified the context span for collocate search from -3 to 3, then the minimum frequency in given range optiom determines how frequently should an item co-occur with KWIC to be included in the collocate list (when calculating the association measures only those items will be taken into consideration which occur at least 3 times in the proximity of KWIC, lemma //dřevo// in our examle)+  - **Minimum frequency in given range**: provided that we specified the context span for collocate search from -3 to 3, then the minimum frequency in given range option determines how frequently should an item co-occur with KWIC to be included in the collocate list (when calculating the association measures only those items will be taken into consideration which occur at least 3 times in the proximity of KWIC, lemma //dřevo// in our example)

 Based on the submitted specifications, lemma //dřevo// co-occurs with 2386 different words (attribute [[en:pojmy:word|word]]) which can function as its collocates. Sorting by [[en:pojmy:logdice|logDice]] produces a list  with the following forms as the most significant collocate candidates: //tvrdého, bázi, kus, kusy, dubového...// Based on the submitted specifications, lemma //dřevo// co-occurs with 2386 different words (attribute [[en:pojmy:word|word]]) which can function as its collocates.

 The list comprises of both the overall frequency of co-occurrence of the wanted phenomenon and its collocate (e.g. of lemma //dřevo// and collocate //tvrdého//) and the values of selected association measures for that collocation. By clicking on the column header, the list will be rearranged according to the selected value. Just like in the list of [[en:manualy:kontext:frekvencni_distribuce|frequency distribution]], it is possible to create positive or negative filter with the link **p/n** in the collocate list which searches for the collocate in the proximity of the initial KWIC. The list comprises of both the overall frequency of co-occurrence of the wanted phenomenon and its collocate (e.g. of lemma //dřevo// and collocate //tvrdého//) and the values of selected association measures for that collocation.

-Two warning need to be mentioned here:+Two precautions must be mentioned here:
  
-  - The collocate list includes all of the words which correspond to the specifications of the context span, minimum frequency in corpus and range, regardless of whether they really are collocates or not. Association measures can be used only to rearrange all of the items that meet the given criteria - whether the given word really functions in the collocation with the wanted phenomenon (whether it forms e.g. syntagma with it) forms the basis for further research which cannot be judged only on the value of association measure (which functions rather as an aid for filtering out tedious and statistically insignificant collocates to the end of the list)+  - The collocate list includes all of the words which correspond to the specifications of the context span, minimum frequency in the corpus and range, regardless of whether they really are collocates or not.

   - Each of the [[en:pojmy:asociacni_miry|association measures]] is sensitive to different kinds of collocation. It is therefore necessary to go through the collocation list more than once, using different kinds of association measures to rearrange it.   - Each of the [[en:pojmy:asociacni_miry|association measures]] is sensitive to different kinds of collocation.
