Collocations refers to how words occur regularly together in the texts\/corpora. Searching for colocates related to a specific term could point to other words and expressions important in the documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

This post is part of a series of tutorials:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Intro, Opening a File and Settings<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Word Lists and File Viewer\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Concordancer and Concordance Plot\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Clusters and N-Grams<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Collocations (we are here)<\/li>\n
  6. Keyword Lists\u00a0(soon)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Exploring Collocation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    1. As usual, open a file or set of files (don\u2019t forget to configure the settings<\/a>). In this tutorial, we are going to use the file <\/span>plastic_19k_tweets_june_2018.txt<\/span><\/a> available in our datasets folder.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Generate a Word List<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Go to the tab Collocates and search for a term like \u2018plastic\u2019. The following list ranks the more relevant collocates:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    As you can see, most of the collocates are related to \u201cplastic surgery\u201d, not the material plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4. A frequent problem is the listing of words which appears only one or few times in the file(s). So you can increase the Minimum Collocate Frequency<\/i>:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. The words will be searched in a <\/span>Window Span<\/span><\/i> to count the co-occurrences in the vicinity of the search term. You can increase or decrease the span on the left and on the right of the search term.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    6. Since Twitter texts are very short, we recommend decrease the span. The results might be more precise, as in the following example:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    With these results, you can explore the collocates to try to understand and locate meaningul words related to your keywords of interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
