<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi Elif,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’d agree that for Step 3, it’ll be much easier to read in a separate overall corpus frequency list and use join.freqs() to merge them - the function has an argument that allows you to specify that you only want the items that are in your list of step 2 (i.e. verbs that occur in the cxn). If the corpus frequency list is too large, I’d use the list.txt and do some sort of a setdiff/awk magic outside CWB/{collostructions}, although I never had to do that with any CWB corpus (of the size hosted at the FU).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Even if it was possible with cwb-lexdecode via an inclusion list (list.txt), it would not give you an advantage, as far as I see. Fwiw, I keep frequency lists for every corpus and/or word class so I can load them into R when I need them for exactly that purpose.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Feel free to contact me offlist if you have further questions about {collostructions} (<a href="mailto:susanne.flach@es.uzh.ch" class="">susanne.flach@es.uzh.ch</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class="">Susanne</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">—<br class="">Dr. Susanne Flach<br class="">Arbeitsbereich Linguistik<br class="">Institut für Englische Philologie<br class="">Freie Universität Berlin<br class="">Habelschwerdter Allee 45<br class="">14195 Berlin</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><a href="http://sfla.ch" class="">sfla.ch</a><br class=""><br class=""></div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">** Ich bin seit Februar 2020 an der</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Universität Zürich</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">(<a href="mailto:susanne.flach@es.uzh.ch" class="">susanne.flach@es.uzh.ch</a>) **</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><a href="http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~flach/corpling/" class="">Korpustutorium mit CQP</a><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
