[CWB] Input for collostructional analysis

Dear all,


I would like to create an input file for collostructional analysis. Is there an efficient way of exporting a file containing three columns: 1) collocates occurring in a particular construction (complex query) 2) their frequencies within said construction 3) their corpus frequencies overall?


If this isn’t possible in a single step: I already have a list containing 1) and 2) — is there a way of querying the corpus frequencies of the words using a word list?


I have tried:

cwb-lexdecode -r <REGISTRY> -F list.txt -f0 -P word <MYCORPUS>


but this computes no matches which can't be right (my list contains one word per line).I’m using my university's v3.0.0 CWB installation from the command line.


Apologies if the question is basic but I am new to corpus linguistics and I am at a loss! Any help is greatly appreciated!


Best

Elif
