Help with collocations
|
|
Hi Dear Friends,
Is there any website where I can get collocations for a word.
For example. I would like to know the most common verbs for meeting and objectives (eg. set).
I�ve been googling for over an hour but I haven�t been able to find anything similar to this. Sometime ago somebody mentioned a sort of corpus I think...
It would help me a lot!
Thanks in advance.
Have a great week :) |

I checked the on-line Corpus of Contemporary American English and the most frequent verbs that go with meeting are hold, arrange, attend, and cancel; and with objectives - accomplish, achieve, fulfill.
The link to this corpus: http://www.americancorpus.org/
Cheers!

There �s a website, but I can �t for the life of me remember it �s name, where you type a word in and it creates a word cloud of collocations - you can then click on another word in that clud and it will show you more. Anyone know the site?
