Chapter 1 the study of collocations

Type 27. Verb Noun (creation) - Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test of 
responses to Verb Noun (creation) collocations show a significant main effect for 
the factor Group (Kruskal-Wallis c
2
 (2, N = 275) = 85.758, p = .0001).  The table 
of means, Table 28, shows that the mean accuracy of responses to Verb Noun 
collocations increases across groups.  The results of the post-hoc Dunn's 
multiple comparisons procedure show significant differences in the mean 
accuracy of response to this type of collocation across all groups (see Table 27).
