Abstract

Тhe frequency data for word-combination from the Ukrainian National Linguistic Corpus is received, the MI for multicomponent units is computed, the obtained results are analyzed, the correlation between the MI value and the type of indivisible word-combinations is revealed.

For the analyzed indivisible word-combinations, the MI association measure is in the range of 8.64 (Ukr. мав працювати) to 44.63 (Ukr. майстер спорту міжнародного класу), that means that the components combination in all these units is non-randomness. Within a single text corpus, the MI value depends on such factors as the absolute construction frequency, the absolute frequency of its components, the number of components and the type of indivisible word-combinations.
