Hi Elif,

as far as I know, this is not possible in CWB, but if you plan to do your collostructional analaysis in R, you can use Susanne Flach’s package which offers a function join.freq which outputs exactly the 3 column file that you are looking for. There are also some sample data for demonstration.

Best, Simon
