Chapter 1 the study of collocations

SV Infinitive - Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test for numbers of 
tokens of SV Infinitive collocations used in the subjects' essays show a 
significant main effect for the factor Group (Kruskal-Wallis c
2
 (2, N = 275) = 
71.452, p = .0001).  The table of means, Table 25, shows that the mean number of 
tokens used per group increases across groups.  The results of the post-hoc 
Dunn's multiple comparisons procedure show significant differences in 
numbers of tokens of this type used across all groups (see Table 24).

SVV-ing - Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test for numbers of 
tokens of SVV-ing collocations used in the subjects' essays show a significant 
main effect for the factor Group (Kruskal-Wallis c
2
 (2, N = 275) = 6.19, p = 
.0453).  The table of means, Table 25, shows that subjects in Group 2 produced 
more tokens of this type of collocation than subjects in Group 1, who used more 
tokens of this type of collocation than subjects in Group 3.  The results of the 
post-hoc Dunn's multiple comparisons procedure show significant differences 
in numbers of tokens of this type used only between Groups 2 and 3, but not 
between Groups 1 and 2, or between Groups 1 and 3 (see Table 24).
