Hints:
  • We recommend use both corpora, for variety and to distribute our load between the two servers.

  • For the CoBuildDirect Corpus, try the query kiss|kissed|kissing/VERB

  • In the Collocation Sampler (lower on the CoBuildDirect page), try the word `drink', selecting mutual information, and then click on ``Show Collocates.'' On the results page, click on the ``Collocate'' heading.

  • For the British National Corpus, try the query {dr[iau]nk}
