    Dear Corpora-folk,

    I was wondering if anyone has estimated the incidence of multi-word
    expressions in language. I know that empirical estimates are tied to
    particular corpora, but does anyone have an account of MWEs for
    particular corpora, so that "ball-park" figures of the proportion of
    MWEs can be estimated?

    Better yet, can anyone give me a good reference for the incidence of MWEs?

    Regards,
    David
