    Dear Philippa,

    > I am doing research on adjective-noun collocations and I wonder if there are

    Have a look at page 9 of

    Cornelis H.A. Koster. Head/Modifier Frames for Information Retrieval.
    Proceedings CICLing-2004, Springer LNCS 2945, pp 420-432.

    which can be found at http://www.cs.ru.nl/agfl/papers.html.

    Of course the statistics will depend on the genre of the text,
    The EPO1A corpus is a collection of Patent Applications from the
    European Patent Office (see references in paper).

    Good luck with your research.
