Collocates data


Most of the information at this website deals with data from the COCA corpus. You might also be interested in the collocates data from the  14 billion word iWeb corpus.


Collocates are words that occur near a given word (the node word), and they can provide very useful insight into the meaning and usage of the words near which they occur.

This site contains the largest and most accurate lists of collocates of English -- about 13.5 million node/collocate pairs. Feel free to take a look at the some samples (expanded: 1.34 million entries).

Remember that any list of collocates is only as good as the corpus (collection of texts) that it is based on. The 13.5 million node/collocate pairs are based on the only large, genre-balanced, up-to-date corpus of English -- the one billion word Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).
