    Dear All,

    Is there a tool available (preferably for Windows) that can produce
    positive and negative key collocational frameworks* in a comparison of
    two corpora? WordSmith can produce key words and key clusters/bundles,
    but not key-frames with open slots. Ideally, the length and number of
    empty frames should also be customisable (X1Y, X2Y, XY1Z etc)**.

    I'd be grateful for any pointers. A while ago I tried Bill Fletcher's
    kfNgram tool but it seemed not to offer this functionality.

    I also include below titles of papers known to me that discuss
    collocational frameworks (also in ESL context). Additions welcome.
