This data set lists collocations (in the sense of Sinclair 1991) of the phrase in charge of found in the British National Corpus, World Edition (BNC). A span size of 3 and a frequency threshold of 5 were used, i.e. all words that occur at least five times within a distance of three tokens from the key phrase in charge of are listed as collocates. Note that collocations were not allowed to cross sentence boundaries.

Punctuation, numbers and any words containing non-alphabetic
characters (except for -) were not considered as potential
collocates. Likewise, the number of tokens inside / outside the span
given in the columns N.in and N.out only includes simple
alphabetic word forms.
