The corpus of regional media is searchable for collocations. For this search mode a statistical approach is used. Collocations are combinations of words that occur together more often than by chance. Such statistical measures as Dice, Loglikelihood, t-score, MI³ and aggregated measure (geometric mean of t-score and MI³ measures) are used to calculate the collocations.
