    Dear All,

    I am using chi square test to see if there is a significant difference between frequency of collocation occurrence in two corpora.

    In corpus A there are 1,959 collocations in 250,000 words (standardized)

    In corpus B ther are 939 collocations in 250,000 words (standardized)

    My problem is with only two variables, I can't figure out how to run the test to show me if there is a difference between groups. I am not interested in seeing if the frequency of occurence of collocations is significant for a particular corpus.

    Any comments would be helpful.
