SV(O) that-clause - Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test for 
numbers of tokens of SV(O) that-clause  collocations used in the subjects' essays 
show a significant main effect for the factor Group (Kruskal-Wallis c
2
 (2, N = 
275)  = 45.251, 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 between all groups (see Table 24).

21. 
SVOc - Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test for numbers of tokens 
of SVOc collocations used in the subjects' essays show a significant main effect 
for the factor Group (Kruskal-Wallis c
2
 (2, N = 275) = 19.721, p = .0001).  The 
tables 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 only between Groups 1 and 3, but not between Groups 1 and 2, 
or between Groups 2 and 3 (see Table 24).
