目前的词汇搭配研究主要有两种观点：（1）词汇具有独特的语义特征或“韵律”;（2）词汇之间的关联强度可以用数量来衡量。这些思想可以结合起来，以提供比较语义剖面的词，这表明了频繁的和特征的搭配的节点词，并显式的搭配之间的语义关系。使用数据的语料库高达1.2亿字，它表明，在主要的“不愉快”的搭配，如原因的麻烦和死亡的原因，词元CAUSE出现。最后通过一个实例来说明研究搭配的定量方法。文献中提出的各种方法在建立搭配集方面具有很大的实用价值，但其理论基础尚不明确。简要的比较语义概况给出相关的词元，例如，原因和后果。系统和使用之间的关系的影响进行了讨论。
Current work on lexical collocations uses two ideas: (i) words have distinctive semantic profiles or "prosodies"; and (ii) the strength of association between words can be measured in quantitative terms. These ideas can be combined to provide comparative semantic profiles of words, which show the frequent and characteristic collocates of node words, and make explicit the semantic relations between the collocates.Using data from corpora of up to 120 million words, it is shown that the lemma CAUSE occurs in predominantly "unpleasant" collocations, such as cause of the trouble and cause of death. A case study of this lemma is used to illustrate quantitative methods for investigating collocations. Various methods proposed in the literature are of great practical value in establishing collocational sets, but their theoretical basis is less clear. Brief comparative semantic profiles are given for related lemmas, e.g. REASON and CONSEQUENCE. Implications for the relation between system and use are discussed.
