ColloInputGenerator: An R-Based Program to Generate Input Files for Use with Coll.Analysis

This is a very simple program to help you put together input files for use in Gries' (2007) R-based collostruction analysis program. It basically puts together a text file with a frequency list of lexemes in the construction and inserts a column where you can add the corpus frequencies. It requires you to input a text file with a raw list of lexemes that appear in the construction under investigation. This is converted into an a frequency with the format described above. Open this file in a spreadsheet and fill in the corpus-wide word frequencies and save the file as a text file. You can now use it as input for basic collexeme collostructional analysis (Stefanowitsch & Gries 2003) in Gries' (2007) program. ColloInputGenerator is, in its current state, based on programming commands introduced in Gries (2009).
